European Union Foreign Ministers called on Serbia not to shift from the Euro-integrations by signing the free trade agreement with Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU) due to be finalised in October, the FoNet news agency reported on Friday.
At the meeting of the EU and Western Balkans foreign ministers in Helsinki, Miroslav Lajčák, Slovakia's chief diplomat, said Serbia’s decision to join EAEU was “confusing.”
Last week, Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, the newly appointed Russian ambassador to Belgrade, told N1 that Russia saw Serbia as a link between the West and Moscow, adding the free trade agreement between Serbia and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was expected to be signed on October 25.
He added that Serbia’s road to the European Union should not be distant the country from EAEU and that EU candidates should not face Brussels or Moscow choice.
However, the Associated Press quoted Lajčák as telling Belgrade on Friday that “if you are sure in your European orientation, don’t make decisions which are not in line with it, as this one isn’t.“
