Serbia also decided to provide temporary protection for Ukrainian citizens who suffered as a result of the disaster in Kherson Oblast.

In addition, the Serbian government decided to organise a sports rehabilitation camp for the youth and children's teams of the Dynamo Football Academy from Kyiv this year. Belgrade allocated funds for accommodation, food, training and football matches.

Background:

  • It is worth noting that Serbia still refuses to impose sanctions against Russia.
  • In particular, the National Assembly of Serbia, the Serbian parliament, voted on Tuesday, 11 July, to dismiss Economy Minister Rade Basta, who earlier this year unexpectedly offered to join the European Union's sanctions against Russia.
  • Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has recently explained the refusal to introduce sanctions against Russia as a "moral position".
