On March 3 a part of the opposition condemned the Serbian leadership for voting for a U.N. General Assembly resolution demanding that Russia immediately stop threatening and using force against Ukraine and that it withdraw its military forces from Ukrainian territory within its internationally recognized borders.

People's Freedom Movement president Miroslav Parovic accused Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic of "betraying the idea of Serbia's neutrality to protect his own criminal dealings by ordering our representative to vote for the U.N. resolution."

The leader of the Liberation Movement said that it was shameful that Serbia had voted for the resolution condemning Russia's attack on Ukraine. "Through this move Vucic has humiliated Serbia and spat on the centuries-long friendship of the two peoples," movement leader Mladjan Djordjevic said.

The Serbian Dveri movement called Serbia's adoption of the U.N. resolution "a hostile act." "The authorities in Serbia have de facto taken the side of the NATO pact, which is a glaring act of betraying Serbian national and state interests," leader of the movement Bosko Obradovic said adding that NATO was provoking conflicts around the world.
