[00:00:00] a few months, so it is said
[00:00:03] something that is the most, I would say, to choose between, between Moscow and Brussels to determine and this is one of the signals
[00:00:07] about it, so, I would say that
[00:00:10] it is that this is in the context of that
[00:00:13] lobbying for the opening of Cluster 3, that famous, isn't it
[00:00:17] Cluster 3, but regardless of whether and when that
[00:00:21] cluster 3 will be opened, Serbia is this
[00:00:23] definitely at least ten years behind
[00:00:26] both because of its foreign policy and because
[00:00:30] of its domestic policy, so, these are two things
[00:00:33] that have directly burdened
[00:00:36] caused by the policy of the regime and burdened our
[00:00:40] position when it comes to Europe, that is, our
[00:00:43] strategic, essentially strategic important
[00:00:46] important question, that is how, when and in what way can we
[00:00:50] join the European Union. To what extent are the general
[00:00:53] positions from which Serbia, i.e. Ukraine
[00:00:57] uh are moving on that European path comparable. "We heard
[00:01:00] that this is precisely one of the topics mentioned by the President
[00:01:03] of the Republic, saying that both Serbia and Ukraine
[00:01:07] have similar challenges on their way
[00:01:11] well, I mean Serbia and Ukraine, pardon me, are in a tragic
[00:01:14] situation uh I should
[00:01:17] point out that we should definitely welcome this visit, shouldn't we
[00:01:21] it's a few years late but it's good, better late than
[00:01:24] never, uh, but Ukraine is a country at war, Ukraine is
[00:01:28] a country that..." "invests somewhere around a quarter
[00:01:32] and more of its national income for warfare,
[00:01:35] a country that has lost a lot of soldiers,
[00:01:39] but many people have left, isn't it, it has large,
[00:01:42] a large wave of refugees, it had uh
[00:01:46] extremely severe consequences on industry, on
[00:01:49] energy and so on, uh, but when
[00:01:53] it comes to the disputed political position of Ukraine, Ukraine, when it comes
[00:01:57] to the relationship with the European Union, Ukraine is..." remained a candidate
[00:02:01] thanks to the war, because before that nobody wanted to
[00:02:04] hear about a Ukrainian candidacy
[00:02:07] and it started negotiations, so the first
[00:02:11] cluster with Ukraine was opened, on the other hand, Serbia, as
[00:02:14] I mentioned, already, in quotation marks, used this war to
[00:02:18] get stuck, in fact, in negotiations with the European Union, to
[00:02:22] stay where it was in 2022,
[00:02:25] to in some way become uh the black
[00:02:29] sheep in that number of candidates for
[00:02:32] membership, I think that regardless of
[00:02:35] this juggling by Vučić in foreign policy, here
[00:02:39] today I am friends with Ukrainians, tomorrow I will be with
[00:02:42] Russians again, this, much
[00:02:45] will not be, will not be achieved, simply because
[00:02:49] the internal situation in Serbia is such
[00:02:52] that we do not resemble a country that is a true candidate
[00:02:56] for membership, for a country that strives for European values.
[00:03:00] values, we know what all this government
[00:03:04] has done negatively in the field of rule of law,
[00:03:07] corruption, especially government accountability,
[00:03:11] media, uh, endangerment of media freedom
[00:03:14] and so on, these are some topics that both the European
[00:03:18] Union and European institutions point out at every uh possible
[00:03:22] opportunity, uh does such a visit now
[00:03:25] establish or change the impression that current assessments
[00:03:29] have presented? that negative, well, this is, as I would say, in
[00:03:32] in when it comes to the views of Brussels, you have that geopolitical
[00:03:36] angle, on the one hand, you have this, let's say,
[00:03:39] questions of value adjustment of a
[00:03:42] candidate country, certainly geopolitics also plays
[00:03:46] a certain role, but not definitively, so nobody
[00:03:49] will be admitted to the European Union just because
[00:03:53] they have a special international position, but they must
[00:03:57] have internal reforms, which were not
[00:04:00] implemented here, on one and the other hand, we
[00:04:04] are, our government has failed, in the
[00:04:08] tones in real life, not just on meantime, it is trying with these four
[00:04:10] years of delay to correct some mistakes when it comes to foreign
[00:04:14] policy, but that will always be, as they do,
[00:04:17] limited, temporary and
[00:04:21] changeable, depending on the moment, isn't it, and what they think suits them
[00:04:25] better, I think Vučić, Vučić
[00:04:28] estimates now that... "in the context of this
[00:04:31] election campaign, it suits him to somehow
[00:04:35] achieve something, not so much with Ukraine
[00:04:39] as with the European Union, that this visit should actually
[00:04:43] be uh analyzed and
[00:04:45] observed from that angle, perhaps even
[00:04:49] to somehow with his
[00:04:53] geopolitical juggling to uh perhaps
[00:04:56] muddy the waters a little when it comes to the upcoming
[00:05:00] we can expect probably a very massive fraud
[00:05:03] in the elections that is being prepared
[00:05:07] uh at this moment, so
[00:05:10] Serbia is also, of course, in a very... specific situation, Ukraine, as
[00:05:14] many comment, seeks support wherever it can get it, so
[00:05:17] probably that's why uh it won't
[00:05:21] of course deal with our internal situation
[00:05:23] Zelensky to that extent, but does actually, precisely when
[00:05:27] it comes to how uh the
[00:05:30] world views this event, uh Vučić
[00:05:34] with this move, as the historian Dragan Jokovina says,
[00:05:37] solidifies his policy of sitting on multiple chairs,
[00:05:40] he used that exact phrase.
[00:05:42] they say precisely because of the focus that the Ukrainian
[00:05:46] Ukrainian question has at this moment on the international scene, that
[00:05:50] today's visit has such a result, so Vučić
[00:05:54] has lost a lot on the domestic front in 2025
[00:05:57] in fact it was a process of
[00:06:00] delegitimization of this
[00:06:03] regime, usually in small
[00:06:07] countries, this government looks, if it cannot control the situation
[00:06:11] internally, then it tries to improve the international situation a bit
[00:06:14] in that sense, and taking into account the fact
[00:06:17] that when we look at the war itself in Ukraine and what
[00:06:21] our pro-Russian
[00:06:24] analysts announced, isn't it, Russians
[00:06:27] on the Danube one day, after four years, I think
[00:06:31] the President of the state also concluded that there is no great benefit
[00:06:35] from the Russians, he also has some problems with them
[00:06:39] when it comes to sanctions, they are not sanctions, are they.
[00:06:42] And the question of gas import is constantly like a
[00:06:46] kind of sword of Damocles, isn't it, it is extended for a few
[00:06:50] months, if some agreement was announced for
[00:06:53] several years, that remains, we saw
[00:06:56] in the last agreement with the Americans
[00:07:00] that diversification is mentioned, the purchase of liquid
[00:07:03] gas from the USA, so
[00:07:06] Serbia is showing some signs
[00:07:09] of shifting, so to speak, towards Washington and... Brussels
[00:07:13] which, as we can expect, is
[00:07:16] always from this regime only temporary
[00:07:19] and, let's say, tactical, because this
[00:07:23] regime does not even have a serious strategy, the story about the European Union
[00:07:26] as a strategy was just a distraction,
[00:07:30] lies, we see where we have come in that story, in 10
[00:07:34] years since the opening of negotiations, and now until
[00:07:37] today, instead of progressing, we have
[00:07:39] practically uh stalled, haven't we? "in negotiations,
[00:07:43] we are standing still, if we even mention some other
[00:07:46] topics such as the reform agenda, well, we have all
[00:07:50] days where
[00:07:54] the money that disappeared is, haven't we, who still
[00:07:57] mentions that money that never arrives from Brussels when it comes
[00:08:01] to reforms, because it is always still being
[00:08:05] weighed up, so to speak, whether
[00:08:08] how much Vučić has moved and how much
[00:08:11] he has fulfilled the promises he made
[00:08:15] to Western statesmen at the
[00:08:18] summit in Tivat, so this visit is in that
[00:08:22] context, so some partial
[00:08:26] fulfillment, as always, his promises are either not fulfilled
[00:08:30] or only partially fulfilled, in this case
[00:08:33] this, so a slight shift from the Russians, but we will see
[00:08:37] in the next phase, in the next seven days
[00:08:40] or a month, how it will be. probably again
[00:08:44] taking into account the composition of voters and
[00:08:47] the attitudes of voters of
[00:08:51] SNS, probably those relations
[00:08:54] with Russia will
[00:08:57] be corrected, a convoy of vehicles is arriving
[00:09:00] we expect, therefore, the beginning of the ceremonial
[00:09:04] welcome for the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky,
[00:09:07] we will follow this part of the state
[00:09:09] protocol.
[00:09:22] He just arrived
[00:09:23] and
[00:09:31] hello.
[00:14:07] As you can see, the ceremonial welcome for the President
[00:14:11] of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, the anthems of the two
[00:14:14] countries were played and the guard of honor of the Serbian Army was inspected
[00:14:18] in front of the Palace of Serbia where meetings are now taking place,
[00:14:21] according to the plan, a little after 12 o'clock, the two presidents
[00:14:25] will address the media, our guest in the studio
[00:14:28] diplomat Duško Lopandić, Mr. Lopandić,
[00:14:31] Zelensky himself said that talks were planned
[00:14:35] on expanding economic cooperation, relations
[00:14:38] in the European Union, in connection with the European Union,
[00:14:42] security topics and other topics of common interest,
[00:14:45] how broad is that, so to speak, field when we say economic
[00:14:49] cooperation which can also imply this uh
[00:14:52] defensive, as it is called today, and when... topics are mentioned, other topics
[00:14:56] of common interest, what are all those topics that can be for Serbia and
[00:14:59] Ukraine? Well, there is one topic that has been dragging on for a long time, that is
[00:15:03] the question of the free trade agreement, which is actually
[00:15:06] connected even from some ancient
[00:15:09] times, 20 years ago with our candidacy for
[00:15:13] membership in the World Trade Organization, Ukraine is one of the few
[00:15:17] countries with which we have not finished negotiations
[00:15:20] due to various reasons, but
[00:15:23] somehow unusual, so that Serbia has free trade
[00:15:27] agreements with Russia, Kazakhstan,
[00:15:30] China, Turkey, many countries, but
[00:15:34] those negotiations with Ukraine never get finished,
[00:15:37] so that's
[00:15:41] the most concrete when it comes to that economic plan, the other topic that was
[00:15:45] mentioned is energy, we also know
[00:15:49] from not too transparent
[00:15:51] information that Serbia helped Ukraine in
[00:15:54] some, in the context
[00:15:58] of the destruction of energy facilities in this war,
[00:16:02] so in a way, it is certain that
[00:16:05] this is one of the things that are positive in that
[00:16:09] cooperation, but which have not been published much
[00:16:13] publicly so far, so to speak,
[00:16:15] and when it comes to military cooperation,
[00:16:19] I am not sure to what extent that
[00:16:23] is really uh to what extent
[00:16:26] it is, so that can be a perspective, we hear
[00:16:29] about Serbia producing
[00:16:32] drones with Israel, I don't know with, now with
[00:16:35] Ukraine, so these are some unofficial
[00:16:39] information and the question of whether Serbia
[00:16:42] can, for example, in that, on that plan, to
[00:16:46] get much involved in something that is, after all,
[00:16:49] directly related to the war itself between
[00:16:53] Russia and Ukraine, and which is an extremely sensitive issue in
[00:16:57] such situations, so those uh
[00:17:00] international geopolitical poles are mentioned, aren't they, i.e. East and West, as
[00:17:03] it is most often said, and what kind of, simply?
[00:17:07] expectations views assessments and
[00:17:11] evaluations from one side as well as the other,
[00:17:14] right before the meeting we could hear something that was presented
[00:17:18] in, for example, German media, that is, that some military cooperation was mentioned quite loudly
[00:17:22] and the role of the former US Ambassador Christopher Hill in this, on the other hand,
[00:17:26] somehow, let's
[00:17:30] say, it's also noticeable
[00:17:33] that the entire visit in Russia is somehow for now
[00:17:38] quite restrained, well, yes, I think this
[00:17:42] is, of course, a blow to Russian prestige, I mean, it's not
[00:17:46] the most important, perhaps for the Russians and the most important, but this
[00:17:49] Serbia is one of the few, let's say, conditionally
[00:17:52] pro-Russian countries within, this, within
[00:17:55] Europe in general, and this, as
[00:17:59] it was said, is a slap in the face for Russia in the symbolic
[00:18:02] field, but they might wait to first hear
[00:18:06] at this press conference later
[00:18:09] what the concrete results of this visit are, I think
[00:18:12] that the results will primarily be
[00:18:16] symbolic in nature, so I do not believe that any
[00:18:19] major uh agreements, especially
[00:18:22] of this type that relate to military cooperation,
[00:18:26] can be agreed upon, but that is certainly
[00:18:29] a shift of Belgrade
[00:18:31] towards, as I said, primarily towards
[00:18:35] Berlin, Brussels, in fact. signals
[00:18:38] for which Vučić expects
[00:18:41] some reward, isn't it, in the foreseeable
[00:18:44] future, and that will be the primary
[00:18:48] effect, I think, of this visit,
[00:18:52] but uh, I would
[00:18:54] say that Serbia is not in a position to fully take
[00:18:58] one side or the other, especially considering
[00:19:02] the issue of sanctions that we have burdened ourselves with,
[00:19:05] in fact, it is... "This is,
[00:19:09] this is what uh, the government itself
[00:19:11] announced would be under the stone, isn't it, when the war started,
[00:19:15] then it came out above and waved with those sanctions
[00:19:18] and that pressure will always remain,
[00:19:22] but we will see if only Zelensky's visit
[00:19:26] perhaps, I am sure that the Serbian
[00:19:29] president will even ask the Ukrainian to lobby for
[00:19:33] his cause when it comes to relations, for example, when it
[00:19:37] comes to..." the position of the Baltic countries or Poland,
[00:19:40] Sweden and these northern countries which are mostly blocking
[00:19:44] actually negotiations within the
[00:19:47] European Union with Serbia to push a little from its
[00:19:51] side, Ukraine in that sense, now
[00:19:54] it has gained an additional role that it also had, and I
[00:19:58] think that the Ukrainians are very satisfied with this visit, the very
[00:20:01] fact that it took place, that this
[00:20:05] is an interesting view on what is happening, given that,
[00:20:08] as you mentioned, there is an ongoing
[00:20:12] specific situation related to the oil industry of Serbia,
[00:20:16] that is, parallel to that extension of the American
[00:20:20] administration's permit and the negotiations that are now going on, we can say
[00:20:23] in the most diverse directions, from the Serbian government
[00:20:27] talking to Hungarian Mol about some future functioning which
[00:20:31] has not actually been agreed between Mol and
[00:20:34] Gazprom, that is, Mol. So, on
[00:20:38] that plan, depending on what
[00:20:41] we hear around noon,
[00:20:43] can something change, or is it just a story that is heading towards
[00:20:47] its resolution already on a well-trodden path. "Well, I would say
[00:20:51] that Russia generally uh
[00:20:54] does not have too many instruments
[00:20:57] of pressure on Serbia, but it does have some serious ones,
[00:21:00] primarily gas, isn't it, we are still 100%
[00:21:03] dependent on Russian gas, and when it
[00:21:07] comes to NIS and the issue of oil import, that is,
[00:21:11] oil processing, and
[00:21:13] there is an impression that negotiations have somehow stalled,
[00:21:17] especially after the departure of Orban
[00:21:20] from power in Hungary,
[00:21:23] but uh, the impression is that they stalled primarily
[00:21:26] due to uh, let's say,
[00:21:29] a lack of diplomatic cooperation from the Russian side, when
[00:21:33] it comes to the entire transaction, and
[00:21:36] here the Serbian government, as
[00:21:40] usual, juggled, didn't it, and avoided
[00:21:44] making a decision to take measures that, for example,
[00:21:47] we, as opposition parties, proposed, to simply
[00:21:51] take over the company so that Serbia has, if it has
[00:21:54] any sovereignty, it surely has the right to control
[00:21:58] companies that deal with energy as
[00:22:01] one of the key issues, but that was avoided, so
[00:22:05] we will see if anything changes on that front now when it comes to the relationship with
[00:22:08] Russia, I would not expect
[00:22:11] any dramatic reactions, the Russians have
[00:22:15] problems up to their necks even without
[00:22:18] this topic, but it is certainly again
[00:22:22] to conclude that there may be some deals
[00:22:25] with Ukraine,
[00:22:28] that generally in the foreseeable
[00:22:31] future, Russia's influence will

[00:30:26] Zelensky, on his first official visit to Serbia, meetings
[00:30:30] concluded, memorandum signed. European path
[00:30:33] and improved cooperation are the main
[00:30:35] topics.
[00:30:39] In Serbia today, six open fires, the most difficult
[00:30:42] situation in the Deliblato Sands where the fire spread
[00:30:45] to 1.5 hectares. Wind is causing big
