White house
A former Serbian ambassador to Russia, Jelica Kurjak, said in a Sept. 7 comment for BETA that a document President Aleksandar Vucic signed at the White House on Sept. 4 was not binding, as it wasn't an international treaty to be ratified by the Serbian executive.
"The meeting in Washington confirmed again that Serbia doesn't have government institutions that can do their job, while all its internal and foreign relations are the result of a policy of personalization represented by Aleksandar Vucic," Kurjak said, explaining that Serbia, or its delegation in Washington, didn't know what was inside the document, because it hadn't been discussed by the Serbian parliament or any other competent state body for that matter.
The former ambassador recalled that before Vucic's team travelled to Washington reports had described the document as economic, but they were "presented with a document including several political points that hadn't been discussed at all."
"It's very odd, and we need an explanation why Serbia is moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and why such a huge concession was made to Donald Trump, whose presidential campaign, according to all polls, has encountered serious problems in the foreign policy sector," the diplomat said for BETA.
