Azerbaijan took land that belonged to them and wasn't recognized by anyone. Serbia will NEVER trust the west. The west destroyed the place. U think they forgot
Thank god I'm not the only one who noticed. That really scratched my brain when I heard it. And they didn't even show the Rafale. That's just a Hornet with a similar paint scheme.
Yes, but as stated, they were distancing themselves pre-Russian invasion as well. Convincing a usually hard to please nationalistic voter base that you are pro-Russian while doing everything 'under the hood' that is directly the opposite, knowing the average nationalistic voter would never look at that 'boring stuff', is pure political genius. Other nations have to take notes really. Vučić and his political staff know the realpolitik game and play it AMAZINGLY WELL.
they still have permanent scare from NATO bombing, not to mention Russia help them at that time by taking Pristina Airport. so if they can pick Russia, they probably pick Russia imo
The war in Ukraine has seen Russia gave up all the soft power they had left in Europe. And it was just in time for them to realize they don't have any hard power left either.
@@MeteornknighteSoft power is cultural and political influence, which they had. From London to the former eastern block. It wasn't a push against unification of the EU, but to push more policies beneficial to Russia.
Unfortunately you are wrong. Russia still has plenty of influence in Hungary and Slovakia. Even in France and Germany through certain political parties (RN and AfD).
I don't think they implied that. However, Vučić is Serbian president and his face is much more recognized, compared to, for example, minister of foreign politics Marko Đurić
If Vučić seem tall for you, he is. He is 1.99 meters tall. Second tallest president in history after Filip Vujanović (2.01 m) of Montenegro. Apparently, some Serbian king is also the tallest king in confirmed recorded history... those are tall people...
Damn i'm Romanian and i feel like a freak giant here with 1.96 cm. How come Yugos are so big? We have similar balkan DNA but the other balkan countries are short hobbit people compared to Yugos.
@ As @zmajooov said, it's people originating from the Dinaric Alps (basically Montenegro, Herzegovina, southwestern Serbia, Dalmatia, and parts of Bosnia) that are really tall, the rest are average for European standards. However due to migrations in the 19th and 20th c. lots of Dinaric people moved around, esp. to northern Serbia (Vojvodina) and the larger cities, which is why you will find loads of tall people in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Banja Luka etc. today.
Vucic is not Serbia. In fact, he basically represents the dark and corrupted side of it, whereas people protesting on the streets are trying to free Serbia from his bloodied hands. True Serbs don't want wars with neighbors, don't want to be either russian or nato puppet, but to remain neutral and build up relationships with others.
We the Serbian PEOPLE love NATO and EU. We hope to be part of the world community someday and see our prosperity go up. Russia is too weak and poor to provide us with those privileges.
Serbia is moving away from Russia, not towards the West, but towards China. In the last three years China has been the largest investor in Serbia and second largest trade partner. It is the first country in Europe to sign Common Future Declaration with China -- the highest form of strategic partnership of Beijing.
Stop lying, China is not the largest investor in Serbia in the last three years. In the first half of 2024, China was the largest investor as a country, but the EU, as a bloc of 27 member states, still invests more. However, EU investments are on the decline since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Some well-intentioned criticism, because I like you guys and want you to improve: - Serbia mentioned as "Russia's closest ally in Europe" - maybe I have a strict definition of the word "ally", but outside of war where 2 countries fighting on the same side are clearly allies, I think an ally needs to be someone you've signed a treaty with. Russia and Serbia have no such treaty. Russia and Serbia are friendly countries with close relations, you can call them "partners", but "allies" they are not and have not been since WW2. Strictly speaking, Serbia has exactly zero allies (unfortunately) - You talk about Putin supporting Serbian separatism and they you use...Kosovo as an example? The situation when the West not only supported, but enabled Albanian separatism, while Russia was just...upholding the UN Charter and the Helsinki Convention (which it then proceeded to completely trample on in Georgia and then Ukraine, using Kosovo as one of the excuses). Russia is not the one forcibly redrawing borders in the Balkans (unlike in Georgia and Ukraine), only the West did that with Kosovo in 2008. - With regards of the above: Russia's actions in Georgia and Ukraine DO NOT at all help Serbia's case wrt Kosovo, as they go against the principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity that Serbia is defending in Kosovo. For this reason Serbia has never supported what Russia is doing in Georgia and Ukraine and has always reaffirmed the territorial integrity of these two countries (this is btw why Georgia and Ukraine never recognized Kosovo's independence, despite Kosovo trying to cozy up to them, because they know it would not be in their own interest from the point of defending the principles of international law). Serbia has never sanctioned Russia for this nor criticized it too loudly and specifically over these issues, because it needs Russia's support on the Kosovo front (plus the energy supplies you mention), but the position was always clear: not in favour. When the war in Ukraine began in 2022, Serbia from the very start voted for all of the UN, OSCE, etc. resolutions condemning the attack and reaffirming Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. So when Vucic says "we never supported the invasion" - he's not lying (a rare occurrence!). - The French jet's name is prounounced Rah-ff-ahl, not Raphael, and when talking about you showed a picture of an F/A-18 :) c'mon guys it's not an exotic jet don't drop the ball :) The rest of the video is pretty spot-on.
Not so cut and dry, my friend! Russia was NOT supporting any conventional rules when it went against approving Kosovo’s independence. Have you actually looked into Helsinki chapter on independence? Have you considered happenings in Kosovo and entire region at that time? Or the meaning of a referendum and the will of people, etc? These things were conveniently brushed off by Kremlin! Why? Because it didn’t agree with its imperial rules and attitude. Russia does not like to hear about independence movements within its satellite (or former satellite) states. Because the idea of independence may also spread in its own territory, which consists of LOT of autonomous republics! However, when it comes to “enemy” territory, Russia gladly jumps in to support independence movements. That’s why Kremlin was so active in BREXIT. Dissolving other unions while clutching on its own, forcefully created “union”, rather empire, is what Russia has been trying since Bolshevik revolution, if not earlier!
@@stevem4660 Everyone has their interests, but the way Russia is portrayed in Serbia is completely wrong and makes them seem like some brotherly nation that'd do anything to protect us, that depiction of Russia needs to change
@@madmasseur6422that will come with proper education. However , Russia never did any direct harm to Serbia and its people ( there were someproblems in 1990's), unlike most of tbe west. Vucic (and most of his gang) is at the end of his rule (maybe not immediatelly) , so there will be turmoil about Serbia's direction and who will have influence here and how much of it (if any).
With the west and Russia supporting Vucic at the same time while the majority of the Serbian population is protesting Vucic, seems like neither West or Russia will be our future. Serbia to Serbians
That is not a thing, Serbia for Serbians. Because no one argues about that! That actually sounds like typical Russian propaganda we’ve seen in other former satellite countries, like in Georgia, some so called ‘kremlinites’ did try to spread same nonsense slogan, Georgia for Georgians, when no one was telling locals that it was not. This is done by Kremlin, in order to push locals to distant themselves from NEW partnerships. Obviously because it does not suits the empire. But in reality, it’s all about ALLIANCES! Where your country stands when it comes to economic and military partnerships. Nobody is telling you that Serbia is not or should not be for Serbians! 😊
Back when I occasionally watched Russian state media, I remember a program where they went to Serbia and declared it Russia's closest ally. They praised everything about Serbia. Russia and Serbia share a long history of generally positive relations, and it would be a major loss for Russia to lose their last "true ally" in the West. For Russia, maintaining the appearance of a strong bond with Serbia seems even more crucial than for Serbia itself. It seems to me that Serbia is playing its cards strategically. I'm not a fan of Vučić, but I have to admit, it's a well-played move.
Exactly, whenever we (Serbia) make a move, it's because USA or EU has not just threatened, but imposed actual sanctions that we have to work around. NIS (Oil Industry of Serbia) has just been sanctioned by USA (and Britain) because of 50% Gazprom stake. Russian management leaving is a loss for Serbia. Now NIS will be pilfered by local 'experts' like it was pilfered before Russian takover in 2007. Both Russia and Serbia are flexible, because neither needs more trouble than we currently have, we always won when attacked, but paid dearly for it every time, including WW1 and WW2. We don't need Russian protection from these sanctions (like we needed in WW1). We are strong enough to deal with them on our own.
@@JebacPresretac101 It looks like Serbian state TV might say your country never started a war that it lost, but that’s not exactly true. For example, Serbia did start and lose the Kosovo War. And as for Russia, they’ve been involved in-and lost-wars like the Afghan War, the Russo-Finnish War, and the Russo-Japanese War, just to name a few. You’ve called this channel propaganda, but it seems like you’re sharing some of your own, too.
Isn't this a bit tonedeaf? The country is internal turmoil, the prime minister just resigned, they have the biggest student movement currently in Europe and on friday it was the first time in history that an organized student body (and not syndicates) called on a general strike... and you talk about a tired balancing act between EU and Moscow that Vucic has been doing for the last 13 years.
There's no balancing act, but a huge coverup of openly pro-western decisions hiden away as not to upset the russophiliac community. ThePro-Russian thiing is just an act, notjing more, nothing on paper. De-jureand de-facto are two different things.
@@NakedAvanger Bosnia is ruled by a coalition of Serb,Bosniak and Croat parties. Bosniak parties broke the coalition with Serb parties and now they want to form a new coalition with Serb opposition. However,ruling Serb parties now want to form a coalition with Bosniak oppostion and Croat parties and all of this is happening while the Minister of Security is on trial for corruption.
This isn't a complaint, but an observation, I don't think I've ever heard anyone name the Rafale jets properly. People simply don't compute that it's not named after a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
My guy, please do your research regarding Serbian affairs, you on multiple fronts are interpreting things at face value, which is not how geopolitics work. Regards.
2:20 - OR that could be because Russia has its own problems with separatists. Same way Spain does and thus they haven't recognized Kosovo either. 3:50 - Uh-huh... which all went into pockets of political crooks... 4:23 - Cyrillic alphabet is very irrelevant when Russian one is different than ours. 5:55 - So are you gonna mention what he was saying about EU before he rose to power? His main goal is to do bidding of whatever world power that'll reward him the most.
Serbia has one big problem and its called Kosovo. This paralyzes Serbian foreign relations, as most of the EU supports Kosovo (including the US). Russia often backs Serbia when it comes to Kosovo. When this problem is resolved, then Serbia can even think about integrating into the EU.
They’ve always been normal. It was others that ostracized them after being attacked militarily, politically and economically by those same countries. Any alienation from Europe is the result of those actions.
Serbian government will never change direction, Serbians on the other hand would have to actually take things to an extreme almost like a civil war, it’s a shame as the Balkans is a great place for tourism and very rich in energy, rare minerals etc and the region can actually be one of the wealthiest in Europe!
@user-irj1nxa3cof2zmate, the US doesn't oppose fascism, because it itself is fascist. no im not talking from a Z perspective here, im talking from a socialist perspective (no, Russia right now is not socialist, nor has Putin ever been, nor does he want a communist government). the US has always supported fascist dictatorships everywhere, and has even put major (former) nazis in power in the first half of the cold war (in the second half they were already too old to keep running so they just retired).
@ If you want to talk about exceptional case, then let others use exceptional cases too. I realize that this is difficult for a Westerner who has grown up with a sense of exceptionalism.
funny thing is that most euro countries recognize Kosovo and independent and not Crimea as part of russia.. same imbeciles also think the Falklands, greenland, many parts of the Caribbean is and should be part of Europe and obviously at the same time repudiates everything related to colonialism and imperialism
Russian management since 2007 has been a blessing. As are Chinese in Bor (copper mine) and Smerevedo Steel mill. Had it remained in our hands, it would ahve been destroyed and pilfered, look at EPS, Electric Utility Company of Serbia, and many other examples where Serbian "experts" managed. Look at our ballooning debt, as well.
I mean there is no sovereignty to speak of when to begin with like all the gas gets imported from Russia and big part of oil, Serbia is entirely dependent on Russian gas so doesn't matter if co-own the company or not
I live in Kosovo and i have my thoughts about this: Serbia never would distance themself from Russia. Because Russia in old times helped Serbia to occupy loots of lands. Serbs are just playing some cards with West. It's so simple
Wow, someone understand what diplomacy is. But Russia did not help Serbia much that is a myth. They helped Bulgaria much more. And if it worked out fully Kosovo would be Bulgarian by now. Serbia works with EU, Russia and China because it is benefitial for them. Something Albanians cannot understand I guess yet, Just how Germany kept buying gas from Russia even after sanctions.
LMAO dude when did Russia ever help Serbia occupy anything, Serbia took land form ottomans like other balkan countries it was in alliance with as for Yugoslavia it was formed after WW1 when Russia was undergoing a civil war and were in no condition to give a fk about anyone else
@ Obrenovic dynasty correctly recognize Austria as strategic partner for Serbia. They dismissed Russia and were punished by the military because of that. That also reveals that Serbia was always a military dictatorship and not a parliamentary monarchy as declared.
Nothing RT can really do, no reason not to let them in. People who are anti west remain anti west (that's the vast majority of us) and NGO shills remain pro west. Very few Serbs are truly pro Russia, we are anti West by default. If collective west tried to miss even a single opportunity to fuck us than general public would quickly "turn". As long as the West is actively destroying our country and Russia merely isn't, they will be the good guys in our eyes.
Not only: - Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center in Nish, front for military intelligence - Close ties of Serbian ministers with Russian intelligence - Russian and Serbian paramilitaries joint training in Serbia and Bosnia - Serbian ex-military officials as volunteers in Ukraine, on Russia's side ofc.
Serbia might be moving, but Serbs not. They continue to see Russia as the big orthodox brother who will always have their back. Especially hordes of nationalists.
Serbia is not moving away from Russia...Serbia wants peace in the world and good relations with China, Russia, America and all countries with which cooperation is possible.
@user-irj1nxa3cof2z Serbia has no problems with its neighbors... Some of its western neighbors think that Serbia has bad intentions towards them, which is not true but we have excellent economic cooperation with all our neighbors
Yep. Same with how Chinese banks refuse to deal with Russia as well due to secondary sanctions and they value the West’s money far more than Russia’s. That soft financial power.
It is more a matter of countries not having the right to choose. Serbia and Russia are traditional friends, but the EU and the US do not allow cooperation with Russia to anyone, everyone must listen to the EU and the US. As a truly neutral country, Serbia has received many Ukrainians and Russians fleeing the war in the last three years, but it is simply forbidden to be neutral.
@@abodabalo Yes, Serbia is among the 120+ countries that condemned the invasion in the UN. It also sent many millions in non-lethal aid to Ukraine (more than some EU or NATO countries) and zero millions to Russia. It's not about that at all, it's not enough, you have to be against Russia, which Serbia and the Serbs traditionally are not. It is forbidden to be neutral, so much for US and EU "democracy".
@@abodabalo i mean Serbia since start of the war voted on all UN resolutions to condemn the Russian attack, but that's just to do with Serbia supporting independence of other countries so we don't seem like hypocrites about Kosovo. Its all about interests anyway its also a reason why Spain never recognized Kosovo as independent because then it opens up Catalonia for independence etc. . EU and US interests are anti Russian so they sanction Russian, Serbia needs Russian gas and UN vetoes so they never sanctioned Russia. Don't believe all that righteous bs you hear on the news every country only does anything according to interests they don't give a fk about justice, people in Serbia like Russia but government would ditch Russia asap if there were no benefits, America just uses justice and stuff like that as excuses to give to its population when it starts a new war - Iraq wasn't about WMD's and you can see Trump giving over Syrian and Palestinian territory to Israel etc no one cares about "international laws" or what's right or anything of the sort
4:17 Serbian here, just wanted to clarify that a lot of the reason why the people of Russia and Serbia call each other brothers is the history in which they supported each other through conflict
No, this might be temporary balancing out as always. The Serbian- Russian ties are deeper and won’t be broken by current anti Russian fanaticism. And even without that, why would Serbia side with the loosing side that actively works against Serbian interests and Serbian people, I don’t really understand.
Doesn't Serbian perception of Russia as a brotherly community of fellow Slavs go back to (at least) the time of the unfortunate early steps of World War I?
@@Bolsonaro_em_Haia everyone knows that but that is a lecture for kids ,if u think that is how and why big wars start u are living ilusion...research..I'll give u a hint, cause I'm in the mood and can not sleep:) After NATO bombing 99. in Serbia, while industry and infrastructure were devastated, the best stores on best locations were in a less than a month turned into a brand new shiny banks, mostly owned by Roths- childs. Nowadays the only countries left without their banking system are Iran and North Korea, now guess where is gonna be the next big war...Ukraine happened so that most of the fake money created in US central bank during "toilet paper crises" can be washed through the donations, plus to clear emuniition storages for a new generation arms, and last so that Syria go down quietly. Palestina is recently cleared of anti airplane systems, Iraq is cleared long ago, now u can fly a paper plane from Israel to Iran borders. North Korea will be left to Russia or China because all of them are two faces of the same coin. Since I have mention coins, bitcoins or so....after III big war that already started, and financial crises, the next big thing will be digital money and no cash, and primarily tokenizing of natural resources as a final target, why? Because world debt grew so much lately that there is not enough of a real value assets for it to be pupped further, until the whole world population is enslaved. that's why bankers must invent new commodities and turn Planet Earth into a Planet Debt. U must be wondering ,why do they need the whole world? Well they prepare terrain for a World Tsar , their messiah, because Christ was not the one. For God sake they crucified him for throwing their bankers out of the temples ;) This was a long one, u must of forgot what u asked :D
I am Serb and you write nonsense. You are pure propagandist. You dont know anything about our relations with Russia and with the "west". What weaknes? Russia sometimes helped us, sometimes not, but the "west" killed millions of serbs only in 20th century, and always look at us like colony. Leave us alone, ok.
Our president Is trying to move close to the west but people didnt forget what west did to us in 90s and early 2000s,just look at protests that are in serbia right now that,among rest are against vucic and his eu and nato policy
Serbia is showing that they dont need russia or the eu or the us. The workers and students are self-organizing and they are an example to all of us that self-determination is possible. Love from romania
Oh, really? Serbia is so technologically advanced that it does not need allies from highly developed West, right? 😊 Let me guess: You are not Serbian, aren’t you? Let me explain something to you, comrade Xi. We’ve heard that same BS slogan of yours in other former USSR satellite states! So, get it into your head: it ain’t gonna work! The reality is, Serbs don’t need your horrendous quality copied products! Serbs have good enough education to know this, and much, much more!
So anyone not sucking CNN cock is peddling Kremlins propaganda? Got it. So what country in the Middle East are we fucking up next? Im guessing Iran now? What say you, Israeli poodle, i mean USA. Sorry,oopsie 🫢🤣🤣
okay this is a story i been righting into for awhile thank you Serb youth for helping Bosnia with music and some hardcore punk and metal its the kids thay dont want war and guys like 35 by now 37.some of the best of the world i met are in this region i feel in love with Bosnia it was real ill give it that but most my age died in war very young country
This video is so filled with misinformation that it's difficult to choose which point to debunk first. Let's start with those 4 billion - there's no such thing as free money. Ever since EU and USA bombed, invaded and occupied a part of Serbia, every single cent was sent with the goal of mollifying the serbian people and creating financial dependence on foreign aid. Every single government of Serbia for the past 25 years was politically blackmailed with foreign aid and that's why EU and USA are not happy about Chinese capital entering Serbia recently. For a country of Serbia's size, the amount of money donated to pro-western NGOs and pro-western media is ridiculous. When it comes to Russian invasion of Ukraine, Serbia's stance is well grounded in international law. There is no difference between NATO bombing, invading and occupying Serbia and Russia bombing, invading and occupying Ukraine. Serbia does not and will not recognize Lugansk, Donetsk and Crimea as part of Russian Federation but will not take part in the war because Serbia needs Russia's political and Veto power when it comes to NATO occupied part of Serbia. When it comes to arms purchasing, Serbia is not selling ammunition to either of the warring parties but, even though second hand selling of arms and ammo is against international law, literally no one cares about that now because everyone is doing it. The only reason Serbia is moving away from Russian gas and oil is because of EU sanctions against Russia and Serbia being surrounded by EU countries thus severely limiting access. That's why Serbia had to start doing what EU is doing - buying russian gas and oil through an intermediary seller. Calling yourself a news provider and then having the gall to spin propaganda against a small country like Serbia is wild.
you mentioned that "Serbia is not selling ammunition to either of the warring parties" ...there is unsurmountable evidence that the ukrainians are in fact using serbian artillery shells you are suggesting that the reason is triangulation.. that is, serbia sells to a third country and from there they find their way to ukraine ? without serbia knowing anything ? otherwise your arguments are quite lucid and cogent
@@leonardoorellano6652 Yes, Serbia is very aware that most of the ammunition sold to certain middle-eastern, African and NATO countries end up in Ukraine but no one is willing to officially raise concerns because Serbia is making money, those countries are making money and Russia and Ukraine are getting the extra ammo. Laws only work if they are enforced and if majority wants to abide by them.
So many misinformations in this video is crazy. I am from Serbia and this guy has no idea what hes talking about. Guy read few headlines and made a video
@martingeorgiev999Well for one the title of the video 🤣🤣🤣. I mean you have to be an idiot to actually believe we are moving away from Russia as our brotherly country. Russia has always been our brothers and will till the end of time. They never bombed us unlike the western b@stards. Through their hitler and through the 90’s, we don’t and never forget.
of course there is misinformation. Everything that is talking bad about Russia is misinformation on default. But if he only praised putin, you would approve the video. Pathetic rashists and rusofils.
If Europe wants Serbia at its side, Kosovo issue needs to be resolved in favor of Serbia because remember, during the NATO bombing, Serbia felt at that time what Ukraine is feeling today. The international community didnt care either. If the west resolves this issue (which they have caused) then Russia will have absolutely zero influence among the Serbian people.
@@S0ll397 I have no idea what you talking about. All Balkan countries are independent states , as you need a passport to cross the borders of the independent states of the Balkans.
Serbia is still butthurt towards the West and wants to be part of Asia not Europe. There is a serious Russian fifth column problem in Serbia, who are enamoured with and love Russia more than Serbia.
Serbia can feel the brotherly love that the Russians give to the Ukrainians, hence its better to find love with their fellow Europeans. Kudos to Vucics, he is indeed a better chess player than Putin.
We have o way to import russian stuff drica wants to sancion us there is no way to keep our promices to russia when they finish the war we ll continue stuff with russia
The realpolitik of pretending to be neutral 😂 - Like India sending empty artillery shells to the EU while getting that discounted natural gas and oil from Russia. And in Vuvic’s case, Convincing your nationalistic voter base you are pro-Russian while doing everything that is the opposite when they are not looking is pure realpolitik genius in reality.
4:33 He is not doing this to ingratiate himself with the nationalist electorate, but so that public opinion would be against the EU and NATO, and thus he would present himself to the West as a better partner than the "opposition". In order for Serbia to remain on the eternal Euro-Atlantic path.
Go live in Russia then. I stand just with one country. Serbia. And I don't plan to sacrifice Serbia for Russian agenda. Besides, this war Russia is in is not ours, why pick sides and make enemies?
@@goran77ishWell, I’m with you, but remember: neutrality is no longer considered as “decent”. Even Switzerland is helping Ukraine by providing financial and some military help, while freezing Russian assets. Because doing the right thing is way more important than doing nothing, which allows the bully to do its evil. It’s great for both sides that Serbia provided pretty substantial help to Ukraine. Good thinking! And clear conscience! 👍
This report is not entirely accurate. Just because Serbia is economically diverging from Russia does not mean it will start supporting the west. It's more of a necessity because when you are surrounded by enemy what can you do but play nice if you want to survive. Serbia may stop economic deals with Russia but that does not mean the politically and militarily it will align with the western powers, especially when majority of the population still remembers 1914, 1941 and 1999.
Just rubbish Serbia is on a very good way toward multilateralism, diversifying and nonealinement. Serbia has respekt for Russia as well as other neighbors.
The real play is is that Serbia recently found humongous lithium reserves on their lands. Serbia stands to earn BILLIONS by siding with the EU and not Russia. Remember, there are no such things as friends between nations, just common interests.
@@SoldadoAntiBalas2008 maybe doing business with the rest of Europe will be contingent on them giving up on being jerks to the rest of the Balkans. A pipe dream but let's see.
The EU must change their position with Kosovo. Kosovo is Serbian even Spain and Greece never has recognized Kosovo independence. Country borders must be untouchable. If the EU take the position of Spain and Greece in that area Serbia will be a loyal ally. cheers from Barcelona. love Serbia
Kosovo is an independent state, that’s what inhabitants of Kosovo voted in 1990 , even fought a war of independence. Serbia should just deal with its own problems instead of meddling on neighbors lives .
I would think that any country (like Spain) who struggles with breakaway regions are generally against recognizing a breakaway state. But if you are Catalan living in Barcelona you would generally support breakaway regions. Where does my reasoning go wrong?
I am from Serbia and you are completely wrong. Our politicians are pro nato but people are 86% supporting Russia on every subject. Vucic is not going to last much longer and when he is out we are going to be even closer to Russia. You are completely uninformed and are gaslighting your audience.
You need to talk to more people than just your circle of friends. Most people are indifferent about war in Ukraine and supporting Russia or Ukraine. People just don't care about some war far away and want to live better. Openly supporting Russia while surrounded by EU and NATO won't provide that.
Is that an 86% support like that of lukashenko? Wake up, people are abandoning russia since the world's 2nd army was exposed by the 3 day special humiliation operation!!! 🤷🏻♀️

@ the video you just commented on. It not so attractive these days to be friend with the biggest evil since Nazi Germany. Murdering and rape of Ukrainian civilians on an daily basis. Bucha, Mariopol etc. These places will be remembered just like Treblinka, Rwanda
Serbia is neither a Western protectorate nor a Russian province; we are an independent power, and we focus on our own affairs and interests. However, considering who bombed us in violation of all international principles and the United Nations Charter, and who is forcibly taking away our most important part of territory, and on the other hand, who has been supporting us for the last 300 years ;)
@ I know, it reminds me of a movie called The Battle of Kosovo, where Serbian nobles try to persuade Prince Lazar not to fight the Turks. One of them says, 'Even much greater ones bowed down and acknowledged the Turkish rule,' and Lazar replies, 'You say greater, but what did they do with their greatness?' We’ve been here, my friend, for over 1600 years. We still remember the Roman emperors. You probably come from a nation that just appeared yesterday and will disappear tomorrow. Don’t lecture us.
Well, to be fair... they did that as a response to Serbian massacres, so... Dude. Only because previous, 100 years old, Russian governments supported Serbia, has nothing to do with today. It has nothing to do with the close relations between Russians and Serbs. If you really want to help the Russians - help topple their oppressive dictatorial regime.
It might have been worth mentioning that Russia's position on Ukraine, basically means Russia is no longer pushing the line of international law and therefore has effectively withdrawn its position of supporting Kosovo remaining within Serbia.
You're drinking too much western coolaid. Russians explained their position as very much in line with UN charter and "international law". Not to mention that that's not how it works, the way you think it does.
this channel is pro-EU... what news did u expect? title is so misleading. tldr: it isn't moving away, it's simply trying to balance ties between russia and the EU. how many of these podcasters/ commentors have passed english in their 1st grade? no wonder you guys are slowly losing to asia.
Correction> there was no "order of new batch of russian fighter jets plan", there was no such thing as "discussion of that since 2021" . Totally wrong information. We did obtain 4 attack helicopters from them, but there was no plan to buy their new jets. Consider this as first hand information.
do you even know how EU does it? We give you this money but companies from EU must be hired to do the job. So it all comes back. Besides, that is not that much.
@@goran77ish That is simply not true. Even here, in an EU country EU funds can be spent any way we like... basically the only requirement it that the investment is transparent. So for example we have Turkish, Egyptian, Chinese companies gaining EU funds.

If Vučić seem tall for you, he is. He is 1.99 meters tall. Second tallest president in history after Filip Vujanović (2.01 m) of Montenegro. Apparently, some Serbian king is also the tallest king in confirmed recorded history... those are tall people...
Not a king but a Tsar. Dushan the Mighty stood at 2.14 meters in 14th century when the average height in Europe was 168cm.
Damn i'm Romanian and i feel like a freak giant here with 1.96 cm. How come Yugos are so big? We have similar balkan DNA but the other balkan countries are short hobbit people compared to Yugos.
@ Not all, people from the dinaric region are very tall, the rest are ~182cm on average.
@ As @zmajooov said, it's people originating from the Dinaric Alps (basically Montenegro, Herzegovina, southwestern Serbia, Dalmatia, and parts of Bosnia) that are really tall, the rest are average for European standards. However due to migrations in the 19th and 20th c. lots of Dinaric people moved around, esp. to northern Serbia (Vojvodina) and the larger cities, which is why you will find loads of tall people in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Banja Luka etc. today.
isnt the president of albania also 201-202
Vucic is not Serbia. In fact, he basically represents the dark and corrupted side of it, whereas people protesting on the streets are trying to free Serbia from his bloodied hands. True Serbs don't want wars with neighbors, don't want to be either russian or nato puppet, but to remain neutral and build up relationships with others.
Vucic represents the stupid side of Serbia. Since most people here are stupid, he easily wins any election.
There are no NATO puppets.
neutrality means supporting the russian invasion by not acting against it.
We the Serbian PEOPLE love NATO and EU. We hope to be part of the world community someday and see our prosperity go up. Russia is too weak and poor to provide us with those privileges.
@@Fluxwux there is no”We”. Talk about your own opinion muppet. Most of Serbia despises NATO and the Western imperialism
Serbia is moving away from Russia, not towards the West, but towards China. In the last three years China has been the largest investor in Serbia and second largest trade partner. It is the first country in Europe to sign Common Future Declaration with China -- the highest form of strategic partnership of Beijing.
"Strategic partnership" here meaning bending over and selling to China all resources and firms what haven't been sold to the West
The EU remain the largest source of investment
They make investments because they will enter the EU. Serbia will join the West. Serbia is joining the West.
Stop lying, China is not the largest investor in Serbia in the last three years. In the first half of 2024, China was the largest investor as a country, but the EU, as a bloc of 27 member states, still invests more. However, EU investments are on the decline since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
China is an economic ally of the West.
Some well-intentioned criticism, because I like you guys and want you to improve:
- Serbia mentioned as "Russia's closest ally in Europe" - maybe I have a strict definition of the word "ally", but outside of war where 2 countries fighting on the same side are clearly allies, I think an ally needs to be someone you've signed a treaty with. Russia and Serbia have no such treaty. Russia and Serbia are friendly countries with close relations, you can call them "partners", but "allies" they are not and have not been since WW2. Strictly speaking, Serbia has exactly zero allies (unfortunately)
- You talk about Putin supporting Serbian separatism and they you use...Kosovo as an example? The situation when the West not only supported, but enabled Albanian separatism, while Russia was just...upholding the UN Charter and the Helsinki Convention (which it then proceeded to completely trample on in Georgia and then Ukraine, using Kosovo as one of the excuses). Russia is not the one forcibly redrawing borders in the Balkans (unlike in Georgia and Ukraine), only the West did that with Kosovo in 2008.
- With regards of the above: Russia's actions in Georgia and Ukraine DO NOT at all help Serbia's case wrt Kosovo, as they go against the principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity that Serbia is defending in Kosovo. For this reason Serbia has never supported what Russia is doing in Georgia and Ukraine and has always reaffirmed the territorial integrity of these two countries (this is btw why Georgia and Ukraine never recognized Kosovo's independence, despite Kosovo trying to cozy up to them, because they know it would not be in their own interest from the point of defending the principles of international law). Serbia has never sanctioned Russia for this nor criticized it too loudly and specifically over these issues, because it needs Russia's support on the Kosovo front (plus the energy supplies you mention), but the position was always clear: not in favour. When the war in Ukraine began in 2022, Serbia from the very start voted for all of the UN, OSCE, etc. resolutions condemning the attack and reaffirming Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. So when Vucic says "we never supported the invasion" - he's not lying (a rare occurrence!).
- The French jet's name is prounounced Rah-ff-ahl, not Raphael, and when talking about you showed a picture of an F/A-18 :) c'mon guys it's not an exotic jet don't drop the ball :)

@user-irj1nxa3cof2zHow does that have anything to do with what he wrote? Or its relation to the video?
Not so cut and dry, my friend! Russia was NOT supporting any conventional rules when it went against approving Kosovo’s independence. Have you actually looked into Helsinki chapter on independence? Have you considered happenings in Kosovo and entire region at that time? Or the meaning of a referendum and the will of people, etc? These things were conveniently brushed off by Kremlin! Why? Because it didn’t agree with its imperial rules and attitude. Russia does not like to hear about independence movements within its satellite (or former satellite) states. Because the idea of independence may also spread in its own territory, which consists of LOT of autonomous republics! However, when it comes to “enemy” territory, Russia gladly jumps in to support independence movements. That’s why Kremlin was so active in BREXIT. Dissolving other unions while clutching on its own, forcefully created “union”, rather empire, is what Russia has been trying since Bolshevik revolution, if not earlier!

With the west and Russia supporting Vucic at the same time while the majority of the Serbian population is protesting Vucic, seems like neither West or Russia will be our future. Serbia to Serbians
Good luck with that when all of us are neighbors
That is not a thing, Serbia for Serbians. Because no one argues about that! That actually sounds like typical Russian propaganda we’ve seen in other former satellite countries, like in Georgia, some so called ‘kremlinites’ did try to spread same nonsense slogan, Georgia for Georgians, when no one was telling locals that it was not. This is done by Kremlin, in order to push locals to distant themselves from NEW partnerships. Obviously because it does not suits the empire. But in reality, it’s all about ALLIANCES! Where your country stands when it comes to economic and military partnerships. Nobody is telling you that Serbia is not or should not be for Serbians! 😊

@@BM-ub9gh Then why are we being forced every day to recognize Kosovo as an independant state? As far as I'm aware, that's Serbia...
Back when I occasionally watched Russian state media, I remember a program where they went to Serbia and declared it Russia's closest ally. They praised everything about Serbia. Russia and Serbia share a long history of generally positive relations, and it would be a major loss for Russia to lose their last "true ally" in the West. For Russia, maintaining the appearance of a strong bond with Serbia seems even more crucial than for Serbia itself. It seems to me that Serbia is playing its cards strategically. I'm not a fan of Vučić, but I have to admit, it's a well-played move.
Exactly, whenever we (Serbia) make a move, it's because USA or EU has not just threatened, but imposed actual sanctions that we have to work around.
NIS (Oil Industry of Serbia) has just been sanctioned by USA (and Britain) because of 50% Gazprom stake. Russian management leaving is a loss for Serbia. Now NIS will be pilfered by local 'experts' like it was pilfered before Russian takover in 2007.
Both Russia and Serbia are flexible, because neither needs more trouble than we currently have, we always won when attacked, but paid dearly for it every time, including WW1 and WW2.
We don't need Russian protection from these sanctions (like we needed in WW1). We are strong enough to deal with them on our own.

@@Bolsonaro_em_Haia everyone knows that but that is a lecture for kids ,if u think that is how and why big wars start u are living ilusion...research..I'll give u a hint, cause I'm in the mood and can not sleep:)
After NATO bombing 99. in Serbia, while industry and infrastructure were devastated, the best stores on best locations were in a less than a month turned into a brand new shiny banks, mostly owned by Roths- childs.
Nowadays the only countries left without their banking system are Iran and North Korea, now guess where is gonna be the next big war...Ukraine happened so that most of the fake money created in US central bank during "toilet paper crises" can be washed through the donations, plus to clear emuniition storages for a new generation arms, and last so that Syria go down quietly.
Palestina is recently cleared of anti airplane systems, Iraq is cleared long ago, now u can fly a paper plane from Israel to Iran borders. North Korea will be left to Russia or China because all of them are two faces of the same coin.
Since I have mention coins, bitcoins or so....after III big war that already started, and financial crises, the next big thing will be digital money and no cash, and primarily tokenizing of natural resources as a final target, why? Because world debt grew so much lately that there is not enough of a real value assets for it to be pupped further, until the whole world population is enslaved. that's why bankers must invent new commodities and turn Planet Earth into a Planet Debt.
U must be wondering ,why do they need the whole world? Well they prepare terrain for a World Tsar , their messiah, because Christ was not the one. For God sake they crucified him for throwing their bankers out of the temples ;)
This was a long one, u must of forgot what u asked :D

They are moving away as Russia is showing it's weak. And I'm sure they are aware that Russia doesn't have friends. Only temporary nonenemies
I am Serb and you write nonsense. You are pure propagandist. You dont know anything about our relations with Russia and with the "west". What weaknes?
Russia sometimes helped us, sometimes not, but the "west" killed millions of serbs only in 20th century, and always look at us like colony. Leave us alone, ok.
Dream on, hohol.
Our president Is trying to move close to the west but people didnt forget what west did to us in 90s and early 2000s,just look at protests that are in serbia right now that,among rest are against vucic and his eu and nato policy
Serbia is showing that they dont need russia or the eu or the us. The workers and students are self-organizing and they are an example to all of us that self-determination is possible. Love from romania
Oh, really? Serbia is so technologically advanced that it does not need allies from highly developed West, right? 😊 Let me guess: You are not Serbian, aren’t you? Let me explain something to you, comrade Xi. We’ve heard that same BS slogan of yours in other former USSR satellite states! So, get it into your head: it ain’t gonna work! The reality is, Serbs don’t need your horrendous quality copied products! Serbs have good enough education to know this, and much, much more!
I believe that this is due to our glorious supreme leader Vucic being afraid of Putin... :D

This video is so filled with misinformation that it's difficult to choose which point to debunk first.
Let's start with those 4 billion - there's no such thing as free money. Ever since EU and USA bombed, invaded and occupied a part of Serbia, every single cent was sent with the goal of mollifying the serbian people and creating financial dependence on foreign aid. Every single government of Serbia for the past 25 years was politically blackmailed with foreign aid and that's why EU and USA are not happy about Chinese capital entering Serbia recently. For a country of Serbia's size, the amount of money donated to pro-western NGOs and pro-western media is ridiculous.
When it comes to Russian invasion of Ukraine, Serbia's stance is well grounded in international law. There is no difference between NATO bombing, invading and occupying Serbia and Russia bombing, invading and occupying Ukraine. Serbia does not and will not recognize Lugansk, Donetsk and Crimea as part of Russian Federation but will not take part in the war because Serbia needs Russia's political and Veto power when it comes to NATO occupied part of Serbia.
When it comes to arms purchasing, Serbia is not selling ammunition to either of the warring parties but, even though second hand selling of arms and ammo is against international law, literally no one cares about that now because everyone is doing it.
The only reason Serbia is moving away from Russian gas and oil is because of EU sanctions against Russia and Serbia being surrounded by EU countries thus severely limiting access. That's why Serbia had to start doing what EU is doing - buying russian gas and oil through an intermediary seller.
Calling yourself a news provider and then having the gall to spin propaganda against a small country like Serbia is wild.
It sounds like you are the only one using your brain in this comment section while the others are just parroting narratives.
you mentioned that "Serbia is not selling ammunition to either of the warring parties" ...there is unsurmountable evidence that the ukrainians are in fact using serbian artillery shells you are suggesting that the reason is triangulation.. that is, serbia sells to a third country and from there they find their way to ukraine ? without serbia knowing anything ? otherwise your arguments are quite lucid and cogent
@@leonardoorellano6652 Yes, Serbia is very aware that most of the ammunition sold to certain middle-eastern, African and NATO countries end up in Ukraine but no one is willing to officially raise concerns because Serbia is making money, those countries are making money and Russia and Ukraine are getting the extra ammo.
Laws only work if they are enforced and if majority wants to abide by them.
@Joe-rp8fdHistorically, the autonomous region of Vojvodina belonged to Hungary and Croatia. It is now under Serbian occupation.
That thumbnail is gold :).
So many misinformations in this video is crazy.
I am from Serbia and this guy has no idea what hes talking about.
Guy read few headlines and made a video
would you care to explain what he got wrong, thanks
@martingeorgiev999Well for one the title of the video 🤣🤣🤣. I mean you have to be an idiot to actually believe we are moving away from Russia as our brotherly country. Russia has always been our brothers and will till the end of time. They never bombed us unlike the western b@stards. Through their hitler and through the 90’s, we don’t and never forget.
@martingeorgiev999Take a look at the joke title
of course there is misinformation. Everything that is talking bad about Russia is misinformation on default. But if he only praised putin, you would approve the video. Pathetic rashists and rusofils.
That's literally what this channel does bro.
If Europe wants Serbia at its side, Kosovo issue needs to be resolved in favor of Serbia because remember, during the NATO bombing, Serbia felt at that time what Ukraine is feeling today. The international community didnt care either. If the west resolves this issue (which they have caused) then Russia will have absolutely zero influence among the Serbian people.
It is resolved in the favor of its inhabitants. Serbia is a different country run by Vucic
@user-irj1nxa3cof2z Interesting argument, territorial integrity means nothing then. Bought your ticket to Moscow already ?

I have no idea what you talking about. All Balkan countries are independent states , as you need a passport to cross the borders of the independent states of the Balkans.
Serbia is still butthurt towards the West and wants to be part of Asia not Europe. There is a serious Russian fifth column problem in Serbia, who are enamoured with and love Russia more than Serbia.
Serbia can feel the brotherly love that the Russians give to the Ukrainians, hence its better to find love with their fellow Europeans. Kudos to Vucics, he is indeed a better chess player than Putin.
We have o way to import russian stuff drica wants to sancion us there is no way to keep our promices to russia when they finish the war we ll continue stuff with russia
The realpolitik of pretending to be neutral 😂 - Like India sending empty artillery shells to the EU while getting that discounted natural gas and oil from Russia. And in Vuvic’s case, Convincing your nationalistic voter base you are pro-Russian while doing everything that is the opposite when they are not looking is pure realpolitik genius in reality.
Love with the so called “fellow Europeans”? No thank you. Keep that “love” to yourselves.
The fellow Europeans that genocided Serbians in the 90s?
russia can just stop the war whenever they like but noooo
Please report more on protests in Serbia, we need visibility..
They released a video on that topic yesterday.
@Drunken_Master , I know. Things change daily re: this topic.
4:33 He is not doing this to ingratiate himself with the nationalist electorate, but so that public opinion would be against the EU and NATO, and thus he would present himself to the West as a better partner than the "opposition". In order for Serbia to remain on the eternal Euro-Atlantic path.
No no..... The Serbian government NOT the Serbian people.
We stand firm with Russia.
Imagine supporting a dictatorship
😂
Go live in Russia then. I stand just with one country. Serbia. And I don't plan to sacrifice Serbia for Russian agenda. Besides, this war Russia is in is not ours, why pick sides and make enemies?
ne stojimo rusofilu, pričaj za sebe
@@goran77ishWell, I’m with you, but remember: neutrality is no longer considered as “decent”. Even Switzerland is helping Ukraine by providing financial and some military help, while freezing Russian assets. Because doing the right thing is way more important than doing nothing, which allows the bully to do its evil. It’s great for both sides that Serbia provided pretty substantial help to Ukraine. Good thinking! And clear conscience! 👍
This report is not entirely accurate.
Just because Serbia is economically diverging from Russia does not mean it will start supporting the west.
It's more of a necessity because when you are surrounded by enemy what can you do but play nice if you want to survive.
Serbia may stop economic deals with Russia but that does not mean the politically and militarily it will align with the western powers, especially when majority of the population still remembers 1914, 1941 and 1999.
This is a huge miss judgement on what is happening in Serbia. Every day the country becomes more and more authoritarian and undemocratic
Shows the "loyalty" of serbs towards their "brothers" as they claim. i hope the west won't be fooled by this behaviour of serbia
whatever u say or do it wont change the fact that serbs and russians are brothers for ever.
Yes russia is a great brother. Ask to Ukraine.

Just rubbish Serbia is on a very good way toward multilateralism, diversifying and nonealinement. Serbia has respekt for Russia as well as other neighbors.
The real play is is that Serbia recently found humongous lithium reserves on their lands. Serbia stands to earn BILLIONS by siding with the EU and not Russia.
Remember, there are no such things as friends between nations, just common interests.

They are trying to move from russia,but they wont try to move from taking RS or entire Bosnia
I am from Serbia and you are completely wrong. Our politicians are pro nato but people are 86% supporting Russia on every subject. Vucic is not going to last much longer and when he is out we are going to be even closer to Russia. You are completely uninformed and are gaslighting your audience.
You need to talk to more people than just your circle of friends. Most people are indifferent about war in Ukraine and supporting Russia or Ukraine. People just don't care about some war far away and want to live better. Openly supporting Russia while surrounded by EU and NATO won't provide that.
Is that an 86% support like that of lukashenko? Wake up, people are abandoning russia since the world's 2nd army was exposed by the 3 day special humiliation operation!!! 🤷🏻♀️

Serbia is neither a Western protectorate nor a Russian province; we are an independent power, and we focus on our own affairs and interests. However, considering who bombed us in violation of all international principles and the United Nations Charter, and who is forcibly taking away our most important part of territory, and on the other hand, who has been supporting us for the last 300 years ;)

@@Mr.Byrnes
Thank you, Brian, for your informative comment.
@ it’s the truth, Serbia is surrounded by much more powerful nations. They’ll always be the puppet if someone, whether the Serbs know it or not
@ I know, it reminds me of a movie called The Battle of Kosovo, where Serbian nobles try to persuade Prince Lazar not to fight the Turks. One of them says, 'Even much greater ones bowed down and acknowledged the Turkish rule,' and Lazar replies, 'You say greater, but what did they do with their greatness?' We’ve been here, my friend, for over 1600 years. We still remember the Roman emperors. You probably come from a nation that just appeared yesterday and will disappear tomorrow. Don’t lecture us.
Well, to be fair... they did that as a response to Serbian massacres, so...
Dude. Only because previous, 100 years old, Russian governments supported Serbia, has nothing to do with today. It has nothing to do with the close relations between Russians and Serbs. If you really want to help the Russians - help topple their oppressive dictatorial regime.
It might have been worth mentioning that Russia's position on Ukraine, basically means Russia is no longer pushing the line of international law and therefore has effectively withdrawn its position of supporting Kosovo remaining within Serbia.
You're drinking too much western coolaid. Russians explained their position as very much in line with UN charter and "international law". Not to mention that that's not how it works, the way you think it does.
Wait, didn't you guys make a video similarly titled like a year ago?
this channel is pro-EU... what news did u expect? title is so misleading.
