AUSTRIAN MEDIA: Vučić insults MEPs while speaking optimistically about Serbia’s entry into the EU!

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić recently called members of the European Parliament liars and sick people, and now he has stated that Serbia could join the European Union by 2030, even though, as a candidate, it has made no progress in European integration, writes the Austrian agency APA.

The Austrian national news agency reports that on the evening of October 23, Vučić complained on the state television channel RTS that his country has been facing a “serious hybrid war” for quite some time.

Vučić, APA writes, “did not clearly explain what he meant by that,” but it most likely refers to student and citizen protests across the country, which have been ongoing for almost a year, “because he spoke about more than 25,000 criminal, unreported, and illegal gatherings.”

APA writes that the pressures on Serbia, which Vučić said “come from different sides,” probably include the U.S. sanctions against the Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS), a subsidiary of Russia’s Gazprom.

However, “Vučić, who earlier this week called members of the European Parliament ‘pathological liars’ and ‘seriously ill people’ because of the new resolution on Serbia, has now assessed that there is a chance for Serbia’s accession by 2030,” the news agency writes.

“At the same time, that candidate for EU membership (Serbia) has for years made no progress in moving closer to the EU,” concludes APA.
