Serbian Prime Minister-designate Aleksandar Vucic said his country will continue on its EU path “since we got trust of our citizens for it on the last elections held in April” after the results of the UK’s referendum were released in which 52 per cent of voters chose to leave the EU.
Following a government session on Friday, for which the Governor of the National Bank of Serbia, Jorgavanka Tabakovic, was present, Vucic said that the future economic and financial stability of the Serbia was discussed, but he did not disclose any more details.
However, he did add that given the referendum result, now is the time to see what German Chancellor Angela Merkel will do, since she is the most important figure in the EU.
Some opposition parties on Friday voiced their wishes to change Serbia’s politics towards EU membership, but Vucic said adamantly that this would not happen.
"Even if they [the opposition] put two million people on the street, we will not make changes about [Serbia’s] EU path, since I think that we have made the best choice," Vucic stated.
Politicians in the Balkans frequently accuse the EU of double standards in its dealings with the region. Do they have a point?
In the months-long protests in Serbia, those marching every weekend are not all demonstrating for purely political reasons – but also to raise their voices over other burning everyday problems.
