Serbia: Walking the tightrope between Russia and the West
Bieber, Florian
Serbia: Walking the tightrope between Russia and the West - 2022.
29
Serbia refused to support EU sanctions against Russia, and the ambivalence of its foreign policy has attracted increased attention from the international community. Yet this position is consistent with the country’s ongoing foreign policy. Ambiguity is a deliberate strategy on the part of President Vučić, who aims not to be “trapped between East and West”: it allows him to consolidate his power at home while maximizing his room for maneuver internationally.
