In Serbia, they demanded the resignation of the minister, who announced the need for sanctions against the Russian Federation
Serbia calls for minister's resignation economics country Rade Bast, who announced the need for Belgrade to join the sanctions imposed by the US and the EU against Moscow.
Our country is already paying a high price for not imposing sanctions on Russia, and this is becoming unbearable. As Minister of Economy, I cannot accept the pressure on Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, while we remain silent
Rade Basta said.
This saying may well cost him political career. After all, the disgraced official was not supported even in the United Serbia party, of which he is a member. Party leader Dragan Markovich Palma stressed that Basta's opinion does not reflect the position of the party.
And Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said that the refusal to join the sanctions was enshrined in the decision of the National Security Council from last year. But Alexander Vulin, the leader of the Movement of Socialists, went the farthest. He accused Basta of undermining economic, fraternal and friendly relations with Moscow and demanded that he be dismissed.
It is especially shameful that Basta hides behind the President of Serbia in order to undermine the independence and neutrality that Aleksandar Vučić protects both from foreigners and such local cowards.
- emphasized in the Movement of Socialists.
