Russia hopes that Serbia will remain on good terms with them, "but it takes two to tango"

Russia hopes that Serbia's new political leadership will recognize the benefits of cooperation with Moscow, according to Dmitry Peskov. He acknowledged the efforts of former President Aleksandar Vučić in strengthening bilateral relations but noted the election results. Moscow expects Vučić to remain active in politics and contribute to improving ties, emphasizing that cooperation serves Serbia's interests. Following early elections, a student movement defeated Vučić's party, leading to celebrations in Belgrade despite initial fears of violence.
