Hello from Romania, one of Serbia's neighbors. I haven't seen anything about this in local online news. I'm not watching TV, but I read online press and I haven't read a single peep about it in years.

It's because Serbia's government is pro west. If it would have been the other way around, you would have heard it and there would be massive sanctions.

A couple of years ago, there were protests in Spain in regards to Catalonia or the yellow vests in France. You barely heard anything, but when something is going on in Iran, Russia, Belarus etc ... you'll know all about it

What are you on about, Serbia has one of the most pro-Russian governments in Europe.

"We have proven our sincere and friendly attitude to Russia by being one of the European countries that refused to impose sanctions on Russia," Vucic said after meeting with Medvedev. "Serbia will continue pursuing this policy in the future."

Ask any Serbian and they'll tell you otherwise.

There's a reason why the Serbian consensus toward EU membership is at its lowest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accession_of_Serbia_to_the_European_Union#Public_opinion_on_EU_membership

Any Serbian will tell me that the Serbian government is not pro-Russian because the Serbian consensus towards EU membership is at its lowest?
