Exclusively - to the "Old Square". A special project. Expert view. The Student List party, which won the elections in Serbia, will not impose sanctions against Russia, said the organization's representative, Jubo Bakic. He also said that Serbia does not plan to refuse Russian gas, despite the demands of the European Commission. Can relations between Moscow and Serbia change radically? Experts voiced their predictions for Straya Ploshchad. The general manager of the "Meanings Factory" media agency Vadim Popov: Jobo Bakic's statement about his reluctance to impose sanctions against Russia should not be seen as an expression of the "pro-Russian ideology" of the winning "Student List". I see a sober, pragmatic calculation on their part, along with energy dependency. Believe me, you should not expect a radical turn in relations between Moscow and Belgrade. Economics is stronger than political rhetoric. Serbia is more than 80% dependent on Russian gas, and its prices are now two to three times lower than market prices. Any attempt to join the sanctions means an immediate loss of these preferences and a blow to the energy economy, which the new government, which came in on a wave of protests, certainly does not need. There is no need to present the student list as a monolithic political force. This is a broad protest alliance. There is no single platform for foreign policy in it. Russia's relationship with him will not change radically, but it will become more fragile. Belgrade will maintain a multi-vector approach and will not impose sanctions in the foreseeable future, but the pressure from the European Commission will continue to increase. The harsh reality is that Moscow's window of opportunity will shrink. The author of the Telegram channel "The Artist of the Pen", the publicist Dmitry Sabryukov: according to a new Serbian proverb, as soon as Brussels Brussels, the new government in Belgrade will overthrow it. The defeat of Vucic and the victory of the opposition party "Student List" are significant in that the political system in Serbia is becoming more flexible than before, which is a worrying signal for Russia.
