The United States has imposed sanctions on the Serbian oil industry, due to Russian ownership by Gazprom.
This was confirmed by President Aleksandar Vučić himself, who confirmed that he has been officially notified of the decision that will enter into force on January 1, but has not yet seen a document.
"We need to talk to the Americans first, get the letter. We also have some kind of official confirmation, but we need to see the documents. After we read them, we will talk to the Americans first, then we will go and talk to the Russians," Vučić says.
The Serbian president warned of serious consequences if the US decision is not changed. However, he refused to impose sanctions against Russia, which is also being demanded by the European Union, in addition to America.
"I am not ready at this moment to discuss possible sanctions against Moscow," he said, announcing that he will try to maintain relations with his historic ally, but also with the United States.
Vučić added, among other things, that he expects Great Britain to join the American sanctions against the Serbian oil industry.
