But as tensions between Russia and the European Union over Ukraine are rising, Serbia is under pressure to harmonise its foreign policy with that of the EU, which it aims to join, and introduce sanctions against Moscow, among other things."They were the only country not to have imposed sanctions against us in the 1990s," Vucic said after a National Security Council meeting.
However, Vucic said the National Security Council concluded the Republic of Serbia considers "very wrong the violation of territorial integrity of a number of countries including Ukraine."In 2008 the Balkan country sold a majority stake of its oil company to Gazprom NeftIn return, Russia has been blocking membership of Serbia's former province Kosovo in the United Nations.
