Brussels has told Serbia to pick a side—the EU or Russia—as its membership bid stalls over ties with Moscow.
Enlargement chief Marta Kos met Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Brussels, urging him to commit to the EU path and support sanctions against Russia—something he refused to promise.
At home, Vucic faces mass protests after a rail station collapse killed 15 people. Parliament has confirmed the PM’s resignation, and it’s unclear if Serbia will get a new government or fresh elections.
Meanwhile, 31 EU lawmakers have urged Ursula von der Leyen to cancel her meeting with Vucic, saying Serbia needs a transitional government instead.
