Dragomir Andjelkovic (BETAPHOTO/MEDIA CENTER BELGRADE)
Political analyst Dragomir Andjelkovic stated on Jan. 11 that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic had corrupted certain European and American politicians and diplomats, who support him in his authoritarian rule.
Andjelkovic told BETA that international corruption was one of the pillars of Vucic’s authority. “Vucic is extremely skillful in corrupting people, those on the domestic political scene and foreigners alike. He has certainly managed to corrupt a certain number of American and European politicians and diplomats, because it is obvious that some diplomats in Serbia work more for Vucic than they do for their own countries,” Andjelkovic assessed.
Asked about how Vucic benefited from corrupting foreign politicians and diplomats, Andjelkovic responded that the Serbian president managed to rule as an authoritarian “as though he was a ruler from the Cold War period, or in some African country.”
“Many in the West who swear by democracy support Vucic’s authoritarian way of rule, or perhaps mildly criticize him. That is a result of his successful comprehensive corruption,” the analyst pointed out.
