I'm sure the empty spot in the list is already saved for those who claim not to see the message. And the history of US sanctions involves both heads of state and government...
After Milan Radoicic, Zvonko Veselinovic and Aleksandar Vulin, the US imposed sanctions on Nenad Popovic and Misha Vacic.
Sanctions against this problematic five were imposed because they are classified as a criminal group and one that has intelligence or economic ties with Russia, a country that is under sanctions not only by America, but also by the entire European Union.
Considering that it is about close associates of the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, who held the highest state functions, the question arises as to what message the US is sending to Vucic himself with these sanctions and whether he can soon be found on their blacklist.
" The recent US Treasury sanctions against Nenad Popovic and Misha Vacic are not a surprise to me. It is enough to look at the explanation ", says psychologist Žarko Korać for "Danas".
According to reports, Misha Vacic was an "international observer" in the illegal referendum that saw Crimea split from Ukraine and annexed to Russia. His previous links to extreme Russian nationalist groups were not mentioned, but are well known. Some of those leaders visited him in Serbia.
Sanctions, a message to the government of Serbia
From time to time Vacic has also worked for the Government of Serbia, he adds - let's remember the function of adviser in the government office for KIM.
" Nenad Popovic, who is the head of a ghost party of the Serbian People's Party, was a minister in the Government of Serbia and was just slated to become Serbia's postmaster. He participated in numerous privatizations in Serbia and is best known for the privatization of Minela. He did most of his work in Russia. He has led numerous court proceedings against the Krik NGO, which he has lost almost all of them ", our interlocutor recalls.
" They were not chosen by chance. Their sanctions are an additional message to the Government of Serbia that its political and economic ties with Russia must end. The EU and the US say this constantly. But these are personalized messages ", believes Žarko Korać.
According to his words, Vulin, Radoicic, Veselinovic, Vacic and Popovic, who are under US economic and political sanctions, represent and symbolically what the West wants to change in Serbia.
" With the former head of the BIA, Aleksandar Vulin, the reason for the sanctions was intelligence cooperation with Russia, and with Milan Radoicic and Zvonk Veselinovic - robbery, smuggling, political and military mediation of Serbia in Kosovo. When it comes to Popovic, there are strong economic ties with Russia, and in the case of Vacic, political support for Putin ", explains the interlocutor of "Dana".
It remains to be seen how much the Vucic regime will receive the message, he adds.
" I'm sure the empty space in the list is already saved for those who claim not to see the message. And the history of American sanctions includes both heads of state and heads of government ," concludes Korac. / Adapted "Pamphlet" from "Danas"
