BELGRADE, September 9. /TASS/. The European Union demanded that Belgrade should refuse to participate in the forthcoming military exercises in Belarus. In response, the Serbian government made a decision to freeze all military exercises with all countries for six months, Serbia’s Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin said on Wednesday.
The Defense Ministry’s press service quotes Vulin as saying that Serbia was under strong and undeserved pressure from the European Union and would not participate in any joint military activities with NATO, the CSTO, Russia, the United States, China or the European Union over the coming six months.
