President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucich said that Russia should stop attempts to recruit the Serbs to participate in hostilities on the side of the Wagner PMC in Ukraine, reports Reuters.
Vucich criticized Russian sites and groups on social networks for publishing ads in Serbian, in which Wagner urges volunteers to join its ranks. “Why are you, from” Wagner “, call someone from Serbia when you know that this is contrary to our rules?” – said Vucich.
The legislation of Serbia prohibits the participation of its citizens in conflicts abroad, and several people were convicted of this.
The Minister of Internal Affairs of Serbia Milos Vschievich said on Monday that the country’s civilian and military intelligence services are studying and checking information about the possible participation of the Serbs on the side of Russia in the war against Ukraine.
