Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on June 30 that the newly named European Commission would be "more radically anti-Russian than the previous one, which was markedly anti-Russian."
In an appearance on Prva TV, Vucic recalled that Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, who is set to succeed Josep Borrell as high commissioner for foreign and security policy, was banned from entering Russia.
"You are choosing someone you know will never set foot on Russian territory. The Europeans will say it is a message of strength and resistance to Russian aggression, and the Russians will say they will fight to the bitter end with every weapon and tool at their disposal," Vucic said, while also voicing the conviction that Serbia will establish good and decent cooperation with the future European Union leadership.
In the same statement, Vucic said the upcoming presidential elections in the U.S. would be "a close and hard race that could determine the fate of the world." He added that he could not go public with the amount of assistance that Serbia had received from France and President Emmanuel Macron in previous years.
