During the last few weeks, we have witnessed events which  given the experiences of the Europeans throughout the 20th century  appear unimaginable or just senseless. This refers to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, which turned into a war taking many lives every day. In this context, a diversified international reaction has also been noticeable. Most countries support the maintenance of Ukraine's territorial integrity and condemn the actions of the Russian state. Of course, there are also countries that try to maintain a neutral approach to the events in Ukraine, while few support Russia. Consequently, it is worth paying attention especially to those countries which, for various reasons, have remained in close alliance with Russia. The Republic of Serbia is certainly one of them.
