Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic arrived in Moscow for talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin set to be held October 2, saying he believes in his country receiving support from the Russian Federation.
He noted that the Serbs had always enjoyed such support from the Russians, according to RTS.
Vucic stressed that he had come to ask for concrete political support for Serbia.
“I believe that we will receive from Putin the kind of support that Russia has always provided in the past. Today, circumstances and opportunities are different. There's more tension, and it’s important that we are discussing all this – certain events that have taken place and the ones that could happen in future. Whenever we talked [with Putin], we always spoke very specifically," he said.
Vucic said that the moment when he meets with Putin is one of the most important moments in recent years.
