Moscow/ Brussels, Apr 16 (Reporter) The EU is likely to ban Serbia from joining the European Union if it attends Russia’s upcoming Victory Day, as Russian President Vladmir Putin has invited Serbian President Alexsander Vucic as its chief guest for the celebrations. The Victory Day will mark the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers during World War 2. The celebrations will see the annual military parade at Red Square on May 9 to mark the Red Army’s triumph and pay its respect to the sacrifice of the soldiers who fell to the Nazi attack. Much to the EU’s chagrin, Vucic has confirmed that he would attend, according to The Telegraph. In response, European officials warned the Serbian President that his Moscow visit would be a breach of the bloc’s membership criteria and would derail Belgrade’s EU ambitions. “We must make it clear that certain decisions come with consequences,” said Jonatan Vseviov, Chancellor of Estonia’s Foreign Ministry. “The result of a potential visit by Vucic to Moscow is Serbia’s exclusion from the European Union. The Russians are sparing no effort to involve people in the parade. For us, it will be a litmus test. Ultimately, we are evaluating whether they are standing on our side or playing for another team.” The EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, previously said that the issue was discussed during the most recent meeting of EU foreign ministers. “What was made very clear by various member states is that any participation in Moscow’s May 9 celebrations will not be endorsed by the European side, given that Russia is waging a full-scale war in Europe,” Kallas said. She also warned other EU member governments against sending delegations to the event. “I also urged all member states and institutional representatives to visit Kyiv as often as possible to demonstrate our solidarity and to show that we stand with Ukraine,” the official added. According to RT, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova referred to the pressure campaign as “a revival of Euro-Nazism". While Serbia has officially condemned Moscow’s assault against Kyiv, its stance on the war has overall been ambivalent, as it is also one of the few European countries to not send any military aid to Ukraine or support the EU sanctions against Moscow, overall maintaining friendly ties with Russia and unofficially being more pro-Russia according to EU officials...////...
