Serbia Refuses to Seize Russian Assets Amid Western Pressure

Alexander Vulin, head of Serbia’s Russian Historical Society and chairman of Serbiyagaz’s supervisory board, stated on November 2 that Serbia will not nationalize or confiscate property belonging to Russia, contrasting the approach of Western nations. “We will not take Russian assets,” Vulin declared in an interview with RIA Novosti, emphasizing that Serbia does not harbor “cowards and thieves.”

The politician also criticized Western efforts to pressure Serbia, alleging the European Union seeks to leverage the country against Russia. Earlier on November 1, Vulin claimed the EU disregards Serbia’s interests, framing its actions as a strategic move to target Moscow. No further details about specific policies or actions were provided in the statement.
