People know that we serbs dont like nato or EU because they are trying to take kosovo from us, but russia declared war to austrihungary to protect serbia in 1914, in 1915 while the serbs were trying to defend positions in macedonia from attacking bulgarians, the russian tsar pressed the allies to help us and if they didnt russia would leave the allies.

@spartanconscience2693
February 13, 2024 at 4:44 pm
The world should unite and place economic sanctions and militarily blockades against Europe and the USA.
The world should also stop using the US dollar and euro.
The world should also stop recognizing the EU as an institution.
IF the world does not do any of these then they deserve their fate by the West.
@spartanconscience2693
February 13, 2024 at 4:44 pm
Why would Serbia care about joining the EU and euro? Its probably because its politicians will see their personal bank accounts increase ten fold. They know Serbia will be worse off joining. Look at Greece. Nothing has changed and its worse off.
Serbia can do far better staying independent and open direct trade with China. How else is Europe wealthy? Let the Chinese build military bases there also. Stick up your middle finger to the EU. It is the worse aggressor on this planet and you will be under the servitude of the US government. Do not listen to your politicians. Anyone who does is just as corrupt and thus its best to avoid them and ridicule them. If they sell out their country then they will easily betray you also.
