Do you FEEL closer to EU or Russia? - 'We're on our EU path, that's all I can tell you' - Vucic at EU-Western Balkan Summit

"Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic was asked if he felt closer to the EU or Russia as he arrived for the EU-Balkan summit in Tivat on Friday. "Do you feel closer to EU than to Russia?" one reporter shouted. "We are on our EU path, that's all I can tell you," he replied. He was also asked about safety concerns, after Serbia's security agency warned him not to travel over potential security threats during the diplomatic standoff between ‌the two countries. Vucic said: "it's always about having a free spirit. And I feel myself as a very free man, which means I'm running a sovereign, independent and freedom-loving people and country." On Wednesday, Montenegro turned back ‌a ⁠plane with 87 men from Serbia, saying they were a security risk - with many believed to be Vucic supporters."
