Vucic Meets Putin in Sochi on Wednesday

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, on Tuesday, arrived in Sochi in a working visit to Russia, within which he will also meet on Wednesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This will, according to Vucic and the allegations of the Serbian media, be their 17th meeting. At the beginning of the year, Putin came in an official visit to Belgrade, and Vucic was in Moscow at the end of 2018.

In the announcement of the meeting, Tanjug agency writes that, seeing that Vucic’s visit takes place not long after the publication of the video footage showing a meeting between a member of the Russian intelligence service and an officer of the Serbian Army, recorded in December 2018, during which the Serbian officer received money “this will certainly be one of the topics in the talks”.

However, Vucic said on Wednesday evening for Radio Television Serbia (RTS) from Sochi that, as far as he was concerned, that story had been closed by the talks which he had about this topic with the Russian Ambassador Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko two weeks ago, immediately after the outbreak of the affair.

“Our conscience is clear and I believe that we shall continue the development of the best relations. If the Russians have something to object to us, I would like to hear it”, Vucic told the RTS reporter.

Relations between Serbia and Russia are currently at their peak, and the meeting between Vucic and Putin “will be yet another confirmation of not only this fact but rather, which is far more important, the mutual readiness to continue progressing and raising our cooperation even more”, said the Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic for Russian news agency TASS.
