Serbian Parliament deputy speaker Borko Stefanovic said that he submitted to the Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee a draft resolution on aligning Serbia’s foreign policy with that of the European Union (EU), which envisages the introduction of a package of sanctions against Russia that the Government would have to implement immediately.
Stefanovic said Serbia is the only EU membership candidate that has not imposed restrictive measures on Russia.
“We are putting ourselves in real danger of being isolated again,” Stefanovic, who is also opposition Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) deputy leader, told media in the Parliament.
He said the country is in real danger of more than 10,000 companies finding themselves in a difficult situation, that 300,000 workers employed in EU companies could face problems regarding their jobs and that trade with the EU, which accounts for 60 percent of the country’s total foreign trade, could also be thrown into question.
Stefanovic stressed that Serbia must not find itself “on the other side of the virtual Berlin Wall that is being rebuilt.”
