“We understand the situation around Serbia. Certainly, dialogue is the best way to improve relations. The Serbs have been having a tough time being under constant pressure,” the spokesman told reporters on Friday.

Peskov referred particularly to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s remark about his intention to develop cooperation with the North Atlantic Alliance while maintaining military neutrality.

The Kremlin spokesman added that Russia and Serbia “have maintained a special relationship as partners.” “We highly value them and will continue to develop them,” he said.
