Croatian FM Grlić-Radman labels Serbian President Vučić a Russian ‘satellite,’ Serbia protests
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is a "satellite" of Russia, Croatian Foreign Affairs Minister Gordan Grlić-Radman told N1 TV channel, Politico reported on Feb. 25.
Serbia protested to the Croatian embassy in Belgrade in response.
Grlić-Radman said that Vučić will have to decide whose side he is on — Russia’s or the EU’s — “because it is impossible and uncomfortable sitting on two chairs at the same time.”
Calling Vučić a “satellite” of Russia, Grlić-Radman said the “malign influence of Russia in the Western Balkans will not be allowed.”
Vučić shot back that Grlić-Radman “not only brutally interferes in the internal affairs of Serbia, but, as usual, he lies and insults the Serbian people and threatens the citizens of Serbia,” Politico said.
“I have never been anyone’s servant, which cannot be said of Grlić-Radman,” Vučić said.
Serbia’s foreign ministry called Grlić-Radman’s comments “unacceptable.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
