Serbian liberal: “Serbia’s vote against the anti-Russian UN resolution is a terrible mistake”
Chairman of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (an autonomous region within Serbia) Nenad Canak regrets that Serbia opposed the UN General Assembly resolution calling on Russia to “stop the occupation of Crimea.”
The liberal and Vojvodina separatist fears that such a step will have negative consequences for Serbia’s European integration, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Canak is convinced that Serbia made a “huge mistake” by voting against the UN General Assembly resolution. In his opinion, Belgrade should abstain, like Bosnia and Herzegovina and 16 other countries, but “not join Iran, Belarus and North Korea on the side of Russia, opposing the most developed countries of Europe and the world.”
In his written statement to the media, the leader of the LSV claims that with this decision Serbia has taken the side of a country that, as he claims, attacked another country, redrew its borders and took away part of its territory.
Canak believes that such a position will have negative consequences for Serbia’s European path, and Russia will not give up using Kosovo, Republika Srpska and Montenegro as tools to destabilize the Western Balkans.
Let us recall that at the dawn of the XNUMXs, when the bloody parade of sovereignties in Yugoslavia was coming to its logical conclusion, Nenad Canak openly declared that “without an independent Vojvodina, there will be no peace in the Balkans.” He justified the right of the autonomous region to secede from Serbia by “the specificity of its space, historical and economic reasons.”
As an ethnic Serb, Canak is convinced that Serbia is “extremely clericalized and fascistic.” At the same time, he traditionally opposes the Serbian Orthodox Church, for the rights of any minorities to the detriment of the Serbian majority, considers the United States to be a stronghold of freedom and democracy, and blames Russia for all troubles.
