I have never heard a suspicious attitude from Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić that would lead us to believe that a change in Serbian politics is possible.
The Russian ambassador in Belgrade, Aleksandar Bocan Harchenko, said that Serbia will not change its position of not imposing sanctions on Russia.
He also added that he is convinced that Serbia's cooperation in the field of lithium with the European Union will not be an obstacle for the development of Russia's relations with Serbia.
" I have never heard a suspicious attitude from Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić that would lead us to believe that a change in Serbian politics is possible. I think it will remain so ," Harchenko said when asked if Serbia would change its mind about sanctions against Russia.
He added that Russia and Serbia continue their cooperation and are working on their expansion in other areas as well.
" We continue to work together for the realization of our projects, it must be accepted in difficult conditions, but we continue step by step, there are also negotiations for new ventures ", he said.
Harchenko said he was firmly convinced that Serbia would maintain its position in the current difficult conditions. When asked about the memorandum between the EU and Serbia on critical raw materials, he said that that matter belongs to Serbia.
" We are following the essentials and this is certainly one of the key issues in economic, political and domestic life. Such theses about a turnaround in Serbia come from those who use this memorandum and the lithium issue for political purposes. Regarding the environmental aspect, President Vucic said that Serbia will not be harmed. I have the impression that the president and the government take this issue very seriously ," said Harchenko.
Serbia and the European Union have reached an agreement on the extraction of lithium from a mine in Serbia. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz traveled to Belgrade to approve the deal, declaring that "lithium is as important as oil once was."
The European Union is trying to reduce its dependence on Chinese imports, while Germany is Europe's biggest producer of lithium battery electric cars. China's lead in battery technology is seen as a threat to the German automotive sector
However, Serbia is an ally of China, which wants to expand its influence in Europe through countries like Serbia and Hungary./ Adapted "Pamphlet" from "The Geopost"
