In this video, we delve into the intricacies of Serbian-Russian ties, exploring whether Serbia is as pro-Russia as many believe. As the war in Ukraine continues, Belgrade’s relationship with Moscow has faced intense scrutiny. Despite European condemnation of Putin’s actions, Serbia has resisted sanctioning Russia, fuelling debates about its pro-Russian stance. Yet, reports indicate Serbia has, in fact, been supplying arms to Ukraine, suggesting a more nuanced relationship.

The roots of Serbia's relationship with Russia extend back centuries, shaped by shared Slavic heritage and Orthodox Christianity. This bond, forged during conflicts with the Ottoman Empire, later evolved through the tumultuous 20th century, including two World Wars and the Cold War era. In the modern, post-Yugoslav era, this has seen Serbia rely on Russian support to counter Western influence, particularly regarding Kosovo’s independence. However, Serbia's foreign policy reveals a balancing act. While maintaining ties with Moscow, Serbia has pursued EU membership and engaged with NATO. Public sentiment in Serbia also showed a preference for European integration over closer ties with Russia. However, the ongoing Ukraine conflict has placed Serbia in a precarious position. This video unravels these complexities, offering an informed look at Serbia's diplomatic strategies and the evolving dynamics of Serbian-Russian relations.
