A few days ago, the Un Human Rights Council adopted a draft resolution suspending the membership of the Russian Human Rights Council. The vote in favour of Serbia has attracted widespread attention from the outside world.
According to Russian media reports on April 8, Serbian President Vucic gave the reason in his speech on the same day, saying that Europe had intimidated a sanction involving Serbian oil companies. Once Serbia votes against or abstains, then Serbia will not be able to import oil from anywhere.
Vucic also revealed the content of his conversation with Putin, saying the two had a friendly conversation and agreed on many important matters.
Putin mentioned the situation in Ukraine and the Russian plan in passing, and Vucic's response was both helpless and sincere, saying that Serbia is a small country with no right to determine the fate of the world, but Serbia is well aware of the feeling of being attacked and sanctioned, and will never join the ranks of sanctions against Russia. Putin expressed his gratitude and said that Russia also has special feelings for the Serbian people.
As a politician, a country's president, these words are not suitable for public. But Vucic's insistence on exposing the ugliness of the West shows how bitter and angry he is, who cannot offend the EU and maintain relations with Russia, saying every word that the small country is helpless.
I also remember that when Vucic visited the United States in 2020, Trump sat in front of the gorgeous and spacious boss table, and Vucic, who was nearly two meters tall, shrunk on a narrow bench, without hospitality, and once the photo was exposed, it immediately attracted heated discussion. Vucic himself was indifferent, saying afterwards that he sat in that chair in order to deal with Serbia's problems, to enhance Serbia's reputation, for the sake of the motherland and the people. He didn't care about the chair, he didn't even have to sit, even if he was standing and squatting, he was willing. This heartfelt confession is indeed awe-inspiring.
Vucic's words are true, and Western countries are also exerting military pressure on Serbia. On April 6, the Serbian side received a notification from the Russian air traffic control department that a fighter jet from a NATO country followed the Serbian civil aviation passenger plane and flew over Russian airspace. Since the Serbian airliner was nearby, the Russian side could not open fire.
On April 7, Vucic angrily said that Serbia was under too much pressure because it was the only country to maintain a normal flight frequency with Russia. He urged NATO to respond to the matter, but NATO turned a deaf ear.
On April 8, the Serbian civil airliner was once again followed by NATO fighters, which sprayed the Belgian logo. At the same time, the Hungarian Ministry of Defense issued information that due to the threat of bombs, Hungarian warplanes were launched twice in one day to escort the Serbian civil airliner safely out of Hungarian airspace.
On the same day, Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with Serbian Foreign Minister Serakovic. Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that as a "hardcore friend" of Serbia, China will, as always, firmly support Serbia's national sovereignty, territorial integrity and national dignity, resolutely oppose political pressure exerted by external forces, and oppose coercion to force other countries to choose sides.
Serakovic expressed his gratitude for this, stressed that Serbia will not betray its true friends, and expressed appreciation for China's fair and just position in international affairs.
Both sides agreed that the call was timely and necessary, and that Both Sides are full of confidence in bilateral relations and will continue to firmly support each other.
It is reported that 6 Y-20s arrived in Serbia on the same day, delivering a batch of FK-3 anti-aircraft missiles to Serbia. In the face of outside discussion, the Serbian side said that this is China's normal delivery of arms trade orders, and there is no need to interpret too much. It is worth mentioning that NATO countries, including Turkey and Bulgaria, have given the green light to the Y-20 trip. Some foreign netizens quipped, why does NATO not accompany China?
In any case, as a "hardcore friend" of the Chinese people, we sincerely wish the Serbian people to maintain their determination, adhere to development, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
