Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has claimed that Serbia will impose sanctions on Russia by March or April 2027, contingent on the outcome of recent elections. This claim, reported by Russian state media, suggests a potential shift in Serbia's foreign policy, aligning closer with the EU and away from its traditional pro-Russian stance. The reliability of these statements is low, as they appear to be part of domestic political maneuvering ahead of elections.
