Vučić's participation in the parade in Moscow, British MPs demand a

25 members of the British Parliament have called for a significant change in the foreign policy approach towards Serbia, following President Aleksandar Vučić's participation in the military parade in Moscow on May 9.

"Today I wrote a letter to the Foreign Minister, calling for a major change in our foreign policy approach towards Serbia, following President Vučić's participation in the military parade in Moscow on May 9. The letter has also been signed by 25 other parliamentarians," British MP Emma Lewell wrote on the social network 'X'.

The letter also states that Serbia under Vučić's government has strengthened ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Especially as the only candidate country for membership in the European Union that has not imposed any sanctions on Russia, despite the terrible crimes committed against Ukraine since 2014," the letter reads.

Further in the letter to the British Foreign Secretary, it is written that Vučić is trying to destabilize Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and almost the entire Balkan region.

"Furthermore, President Vučić is attempting to destabilize Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the wider Balkan region, working closely with Putin's Russia, which aims to divert attention from its full-scale occupation of Ukraine," the letter to the British Foreign Secretary states.

The letter also notes that during Vučić's rule, Serbia has experienced a major democratic regression, with continuous attacks on the media, political opposition, and civil society.

The letter also further states that Vučić's government is gripped by corruption, which they say has contributed to the massive protests against his government in recent months./ REL (A2 Televizion)
