🤝 Ukraine and Serbia backed each other territorial integrities in regards of Kosovo and Crimea, but with Serbia still refusing to join the Anti-Russian sanctions set by EU, a position Vučić says "will remain the same" for now.

Can Serbia still count on Ukraine’s position regarding the non-recognition of Kosovo’s declared independence?​
