BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia will sign a free trade agreement with a Russian-led economic bloc, officials said Monday, in a move which could hamper the Balkan country's efforts to join the European Union.

The deal between Serbia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is expected to be signed on Oct. 25, according to a statement from Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's office following his meeting with Russian Ambassador Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko.

The EU is a successor to the proto-Caliphate coalition with bombed Serbia when she tried to fight back against Muslim terror.

Serbia would be nuts to join them.

Yes, but it has pro-Euro forces too. But Generally EU membership was a pie in the sky for Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine and Georgia. Serbia is technically closest to meet requirements but politically it is a no-no after Clinton’s pro-Muslim adventure.

I hope to see the day when president Bill “wag the dog” Clinton is tried and punished for his war crimes in Serbia.
Many international problems of this day can be traced to the misguided and uninformed Serbia bombing campaign.
