Vucic: Not agreeing to the US demand for Serbia | Russia | the US
According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News Agency on the 29th, Serbian President Vucic revealed in an interview with Serbian media that the night before the United States decided to sanction Serbian Information and Security Agency Director Alexander Wulin, a US official demanded that Vucic announce a change in policy towards Russia and support Western sanctions against Russia, but he did not agree.
Wu Qiqi revealed that the US had made it clear that if he announced a change in policy towards Russia and supported Western sanctions against Russia, Director of the Information and Security Bureau, Wulin, would not be sanctioned, but he chose to remain silent. Wu Qiqi did not specify in the interview who the American officials who proposed this proposal to him were. Vucic stated that Serbia is taking the "European path" and hopes to make an independent decision.

Wu Lin has served as the Minister of Labor, Employment, Veterans and Social Affairs, Minister of Defense, and Minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia. Starting from December 2022, he has served as the Director of the Serbian Security and Information Bureau. Last August, Wulin visited Russia as Minister of Internal Affairs. During a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, Wulin stated that Serbia had not joined the Western sanctions against Russia. On the 11th of this month, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions against the Wulin on suspicion of involvement in "transnational organized crime.".
Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the EU has followed the United States in increasing sanctions against Russia, involving energy, finance and other fields. Despite facing pressure, Serbia has always insisted on not joining the EU's sanctions against Russia.
