Serbia’s choice

“We all remember what America did to us, and not only us, all over the world,” carpenter Lubisa Milic remembers the bombings vividly. “Fifty two bombs… fell on my village.” In 1999, NATO bombed Yugoslavia. The resultant number of deaths and casualties is estimated at 6,000. Since then, for most Serbs, giving in to the pressure of foreign opinion means disregarding the past of their own country, its history and its faith. Today Serbia is not being bombed, but the civilians are not relieved. Surrounded by NATO countries, the European Union is forcing Serbia to impose sanctions on Russia. This is not beneficial for Serbia. Besides, imposing sanctions will put a crimp on its relationship with Russia. Can both countries maintain fraternity within the present political situation?
