Serbia should pick BRICS over Brussels, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin has said in an interview with Russian media.

 

The largest republic of the former Yugoslavia applied for EU membership in 2009 and has been a candidate since 2012, but the bloc has recently demanded recognition of the breakaway province of Kosovo as a condition for membership.

 

“BRICS does not ask anything of Serbia and offers more than we could want. The EU asks of us everything, and I’m no longer sure what it has to offer,” Vulin told RIA Novosti on Monday.

 

“We see BRICS as an opportunity and an alternative,” Vulin added. “Serbia is very closely investigating all the possibilities presented by BRICS and closer cooperation with its member states.”

 

According to Vulin, Serbia is expecting an official invitation to the BRICS summit, scheduled for late October in Kazan, Russia.
