Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Monday that the authorities will not lead the country into isolation over their stand on the Ukraine war.

He said that official Belgrade has left open the option of imposing sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, adding that Serbia’s stand on that war has not changed and that it has supported the territorial integrity of Ukraine from the start.

According to the Foreign Minister, Belgrade could impose sanctions on Moscow if the Serbian economy and population suffer irreparable damage and come under more pressure but added that there is no need to look into that possibility at present.
