Miroslav Lajčák, Slovakia's Diplomacy, reacted to the announced Serbia's signing of the free trade agreement with Eurasian Union (EAEU), supported by Russia.
"If you are sure in your European orientation, don’t make decisions which are not in line with it, as this one isn’t", Lajčák concluded.
Attending the meeting of the EU and Western Balkans foreign ministers in Helsinki, Slovakian Foreign Affairs Minister said that Serbia’s decision to join EAEU was “confusing.”
Serbia should sing this Agreement on Free Trade with Eurasian Union on October 25, while the Agreement on free trade between Serbia and Russia is in effect since 2000. Warning regarding this agreement was also sent from European Commission, when it was clearly said that Serbia will have to give up on EAEU upon joining EU.
Today, McAllister also reacted to this issue.
"Kosovo presents a problem as it was not recognized from the five EU member states. This is reality"
Speaking about Kosovo, he called Pristina to abolish tariffs on Serbian goods and underlined that Kosovo's reality is that it is not recognized by the five EU member states.
"Kosovo presents a problem as it was not recognized from the five EU member states. This is reality", Miroslav Lajčák added.

Just waffling.......its you again just making stupid comments with little/no knowledge.
You say Russia is "dead broke"?? No its not. As of this year Russias debt to GDP is at 19.5%. That is one of the lowest in the world. For your information the world bank recently estimated that Russias natural resources are worth in the region of $75 trillion.
Further more, your masters (the US) are over $23 trillion in debt, which is 106% of GDP.
Other notable debt ridden nations are Greece with 182% ofGDP, Italy at 134% of GDP, Portugal at 123% of GDP, Belgium and Cyprus both at 105% of GDP, France at 100%, Spain 99%.
In fact Eurozone nations stand at 86%.
China is at 54%, and Serbia at 55% (and moving down sharply)
So, Just waffling, what were you saying about Russia being broke...?? .....LOL.....

Serbia wants to lean on dead broke Russia as they know that they can't never be civilized enough to live with EU laws and standards. FREE Speech is one of them. Serbia is 2-3 decades behind the civilized world.
(Just saying.., 1 September 2019 15:23)
Free speech like the French where the media no longer talks about the yellow vest protests and how the French police try to suppress demonstrations with brutal tactics while at the same time all they show on TV is the Honk Kong protesters who are yearning for freedom and democracy LOL?
Yep I see your point.

Serbia has a problem in that 23 EU countries have recognized Kosovo which means they do not recognize Serbia’s borders, therefore 23 EU countries do not recognize Serbia.

In the end Serbia will have no choice the EU will hold it over Serbia's head. Take it or leave it they is no in between. So either change you views siding with the EU or walk away NOW! You will not enter the EU without surrendering to them so why waste time. Or walk now and find new allies for the western ones are anything but your friends!

This whole courting that RS does with EU is sickening. Stop sucking up to people that already destroyed your country and are still actively working on butchering what's left. Have some dignity., for Christ sake, look for some other options - the rotting and disintegrating EU is not such a heavenly option as you believe. Maybe some other partners will treat you better, at least try them out. You don't really need the Laicaks and McAllisters of this world making decisions about the destiny of your children.

I’m sorry, but what path? Is it the path macron told us doesn’t exist? Is it the path demanding we sacrifice a vital part of our territory?
Is it now the path that demands we are not allowed to rebuild after the crime and destruction visited on us, that we are to be vassals, grateful for any crumb?
I am grateful to the EU for their efforts to help us reform and rebuild. More than can be said for the Americans that’s for sure. Yet to mow tell us to forego opportunities for something so vague as our “path” is a bit rich.

After Brexit, if Scotland left the UK and managed to rejoin the EU, and if Serbia also joined the EU, then as Scotland has a smaller population than Serbia, Scotland would be a more minor and a less significant country than Serbia!
I wonder about the SNP and their strange wish to be a minor player of diluted significance in the EU instead of being part of the UK and continue to be a significant part of one of the world’s biggest and best economies.
