Vucic expects 'harsh reactions from the EU'

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 8 - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated that he expects harsh reactions from the EU to his decision to travel to Moscow to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazism, but that he does not intend to remain silent and will respond to such reactions in a serious and responsible manner. Speaking to journalists in the Russian capital, where he will attend a large military parade on Red Square tomorrow and meet Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, Vucic emphasised that he wanted to keep the promise he made to Putin over the phone in recent months, and that any negative consequences would be borne by him personally rather than Serbia, which will continue on its path to EU integration.
