When asked why Vladimir Putin would not come to Serbia, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated that he had spoken with the Russian president several times and had not seen “Putin go to any country” during the coronavirus epidemic. He added that the news was used to “campaign” against him.
“I spoke several times with Putin, he cannot wait to come to Serbia, but when there are 15,000 patients with the crown and 300 dead … And I have not seen him go to any country, I am not even sure if he wants to or not, we we are still waiting for an answer, “Vučić said at the press conference in Belgrade after the meeting with Miroslav Lajčák.
He said the story about the cancellation of the visit was used as a campaign against him.
“Suddenly some turn into Russians when it seems like an opportunity because they might attack me … I laugh at that,” Vucic said.
Vučić also said that the works on the Temple of Saint Sava were “about twenty days late”, because, as Serbian officials announced, Putin was supposed to come.
When asked why the Russian Foreign Minister was not planning to visit Serbia as part of his tour of the region, Vučić said that “as it is,” Sergei Lavrov will come to Belgrade.
“Mr. Lavrov will definitely come to Belgrade, I don’t like to call the media, to report … Serbia has excellent relations with Russia, Serbia is a free and independent state, and that is a matter that Putin, Macron and Xi Jinping they respect “. . “said Vučić.
Russian president Vladimir Putin will not come to Belgrade on October 20 to celebrate Liberation Day., nor will he attend the consecration ceremony of the Temple of Saint Sava, as Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and other local officials have announced on several occasions. Some media claim that Putin canceled the visit because the Serbian approach to American positions does not suit that country, although the Kremlin has never officially confirmed that the Russian president will come to Serbia at all.
