Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić said his country voted for suspending Russia’s membership in the United Nations Human Rights Council because of the threat of sanctions against it. Serbia was one of the 93 members that voted to support the resolution.
“People ask why we didn’t vote against or why we didn’t abstain,” Vučić said on Serbian radio and television, according to Russian state-owned Ria News.
He said if Serbia abstained, more countries would be against them “and the pressure will become even greater. At the same time, today a decision is being made about the fate of Serbia – whether we will be an exception from the package of sanctions on oil”.
Gazprom Neft, one of the Russian-owned companies sanctioned by the European Union, is the majority shareholder of the Petroleum Industry of Serbia.
