US Ambassador Christopher Hill said on Wednesday that Serbia should focus on accession to the European Union and join in the sanctions against Russia.

A solution to the situation in Kosovo is important so that Serbia can focus on its main job of preparing for EU membership, he told the AmCham general assembly adding that it’s in the country’s interest to join in the sanctions against Russia. Evil should be opposed and the EU is doing just that, the ambassador said.

According to the ambassador, Serbia’s message in resisting the sanctions has been understood. Serbia should do what is in its best interest… The message is clear. Serbia will be part of Europe and that is already happening, Hill said.
