Serbian pro-EU opposition parties and netizens scold the Russian ambassador

Unlike the student protester front that doesn't want to offend Russia, some parts of the society in Serbia, including notable opposition parties, are not amused by the constant interference of the Russian government in Serbian affairs, especially the vocal support for the Serbian government expressed by the Russian ambassador Aleksandr Botsan-Kharchenko.

Weep for me, said the Tu-95 bomber

There's a Serbian joke about how the Serbian ship of lunatics is the pride and joy of the Russian Navy. Whether it's the news about arms sales to Ukraine, the purchase of the French Rafale jets, or the recent visit of president Vucic to Odessa, there is always speculation about Serbia's possible departure from the orbit of Russia and China.

Vucic isn’t Assad

A good portion, if not the majority of the Serbian electorate never had a problem with the war crimes committed by the political parties that comprised the government of Slobodan Milošević. In fact, those same crimes are considered as proof of the patriotic virtues espoused by the current Serbian administration, led by Milošević's former minister of information, Aleksandar Vučić.

No, Serbia is not ditching Russian weaponry

Serbia is reportedly shifting its military procurement from Russia to China, driven by sanctions and Western pressure. General Milan Mojsilovic noted delays in Russian contracts, leading to increased use of Chinese weaponry, such as the FK-3 air defense system. Despite claims of neutrality, Serbia remains close with BRICS amid skepticism about its military transparency.
