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