A candidate for prime minister nominated by a coalition rallied around the Socialist Party of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, said on March 21 that Serbia had to pursue a balanced foreign policy, looking after the relationship with Russia, while staying on the path to the European Union (EU) as well.

When asked about the implications the war in Ukraine might have on Serbia’s foreign policy, Dacic said that Belgrade “should not stand out in every crisis.”

“We haven’t caused the war, and we can’t stop it either,” the Socialist leader said in an interview with the Happy TV.
