From the very beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Serbia supported the aggressor country and refused to apply European sanctions against it.. However, in military matters, Belgrade wants to remain neutral, therefore it is not going to deploy Russian or any other foreign bases in Serbia, which has been repeatedly reported in the media.. This was stated by President Aleksandar Vucic, B92 writes..

According to the politician, his position regarding the location of the foreign military contingent on the territory of his state is firm and unchanged.. Vucic believes that Serbia does not need help and can defend itself.

“Serbia does not need any foreign military bases, Serbia will protect itself and its people on its own, it will build alliances on its own and will not be ashamed of good relations with Russia, the USA or China. We will take care of ourselves,” Vucic said..

He noted that there are only three ways to establish foreign military bases in Serbia over the next 5 years, while he is in office..

“Either I will be replaced in my post, or my mandate will end, or I will die or be killed. Otherwise, it is impossible to force me to deprive Serbia of its military neutrality,” the President categorically summed up..
