Ivica Dacic
Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Aug. 21 that the "option" presented by U.S. presidential candidate Joseph Biden would not be better for Serbia that "this one," but stressed that Serbia did not interfere with U.S. elections.
"It is a matter for the Serbian American citizens who live there. They are aware who said what and chose which options in the past, and this made a majority of votes in the last election go to (Donald) Trump," Dacic told Happy TV.
He said the federal states in the U.S. occasionally swung a different way in the presidential vote, which "practically means -- in order for Trump to get the ballots of Serbs there, those Serbs have to think better of him than of Biden." "Admittedly that's not hard considering Biden's statements about Serbs and Serbia, and the closeness of the Democrats with Albanian lobbyists," Dacic said.
However, Dacic noted, Biden is "an experienced, realistic politician and whatever he may have said before and whatever votes he expects from the Albanian diaspora, he will have to find a way to align his positions with America's real interests at this time."
Dacic said the political crisis in Belarus was the country's internal affair. "It is an internal matter for Belarus. We don't want to interfere. All we want is for everything to be solved peacefully and through dialog," Dacic said.
