Share the newsChinese President Xi Jinping will pay a two-day official visit to Serbia next week, Belgrade and Beijing have announced. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic
Well Vucic statements here at least confirm he is not a complete EU bootlicker, like many others are. At least it seems he is willing to play both sides, which is good for a periphery country.
But then again it’s a liberal democracy and an EU bootlicker can reverse whatever they do any time, so meh.
His anti-EU statements are only statements and there’s not a lot of bite behind the bark, ultimately. The only times he does something that isn’t 100% neolib bs is when it goes against public opinion in Serbia so much that it would be political suicide to do the opposite. One thing you have to understand is that the public here is massively against western imperialism (particularly NATO) and he is an EU client. So he has to do this balancing act, where he is forced to make moves that aren’t totally awful is because of that. In return he gets to rule the country like a Batista, Somosa, Noriega etc. and not be considered a dictator by the “freedom-loving” EU.
Thanks to being a little dictator, our foreign policy also deeply depends on him, and he has not proven to be a negotiator in any capacity, being fully humiliated by the US, EU and Kosovo. The Serbian Progressive Party also can not offer any other cadre to replace him in that role because it’s a bunch of the dumbest, most servile clowns gathered around him. Thanks to those two reasons there is no hope for Serbia to escape the EU’s grip in the near future.
Ugh, my condolences to the people of China who had to watch this clown. Although it’s interesting to see that he has the same weaselly melodramatic tone when speaking to foreign audiences as well.

😂 are his lips real, literally can’t unsee them.
Hahaha yes they are, people opposing the government here often make fun of them.
Chinese investors revived serbian steel industry that was plundered by US investors post-yugoslavia, very interesting article: https://www.obserwatorfinansowy.pl/in-english/business/incredible-rise-of-serbian-steel-industry/
Also ben norton covers it during this video: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=MILgSmiBLA8
This may be a huge reason as to why Vucic is, apparently, friendly towards China.
