The conflict between Vučić and Zakharova — what happened

A high-profile scandal erupted after Vucic said he might change his decision to impose sanctions against Russia.

Moreover, he added: there will be no problems if the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive Serbian ammunition.

Maria Zakharova did not hide her indignation after hearing this.

When I read all these interviews with the President of Serbia, I wonder, is there only one President Vučić? It seems to me that different people are giving the interviews. We hear some interviews and statements when he is in Moscow. We hear other statements when he gives interviews in other geographical locations.

According to the Serbian leader, he would like to respond with rudeness to Zakharova's rudeness, but he has no right to do so as the president of a European state.

"I waited a day and a half not to react. Otherwise, of course, I would have reacted much more strongly yesterday, but when you are the president, you should count not to ten, but to a hundred and not react like that," Vucic admitted.
