A group of Serbian intellectuals sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin asking him to take the Order of Alexander Nevsky away from Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, because he “abuses centuries-old Serbian-Russian relations and uses them for daily political marketing purposes. “.
Expressing gratitude to Putin for “the friendly attitude towards Serbia and essential understanding of the importance of Serbian-Russian cooperation,” the authors of the letter stated that Vucic does not deserve the Russian Order and because “he develops strategic cooperation with Euro-Atlantic structures. “.
“Russia has been in many historical moments the only support for the Serbian state and the only hope for our people.

It is also claimed that the Serbian state leadership did not send an invitation to Russia to join the negotiations on Kosovo “and with its authority help to solve this problem in accordance with the interests of our state, and not in accordance with the interests of the Albanian separatists “.
