BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) – Germany’s foreign minister has urged Serbia, which has not imposed sanctions on traditional ally Russia over the war in Ukraine, to align policies with the European Union if it wants to join the bloc.

Annalena Baerbock said Friday in Serbia’s capital Belgrade that “we all must have a clear position” over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

While Serbia has criticized the attack on Ukraine and voted in the United Nations for the condemnation of the attack, Belgrade has refrained from joining Western sanctions against Moscow. .

Baerbock praised Serbia’s UN vote and the offer to host Ukrainian refugees. But she added that “joining the European Union means readiness to align with the positions of the Union.”

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic said that “Serbia has a very determined and clear position” and has done “nothing that would hurt Ukraine.”

So Germany stopped buying energy from Russia? Seems they are a bit selective in what they call sanctioning Russia.

Ping.

Germany can “pressure” all they want but it won’t happen.

Why would Serbia want to join the EU when NATO bombed them for 79 days? Talk about a war crime.

--- "Germany Pressures Serbia to Impose Sanctions on Russia If They Want to Join EU"

Proof positive that Germany has essentially captured the EU, which is busy wanting to punish Visegrád countries for not better obeying.

With Ursula von der Leyen, previously Germany's military boss as top dog in the EU Commission itself, Germany still has that nagging problem. About half its natural gas comes from Russia, courtesy of two previous chancellors.

Except instead of machine guns and artillery, both sides now have nukes.

I'm sure Putin is quaking in his boots about Serbia imposing sanctions.

Please God, can we get some adult leaders?
