In the field of energy, there is not a single misunderstanding between Serbia and Russia, despite the attempts by third parties to prevent the delivery of Russian gas to Serbia using the policy of sanctions or physical destruction of parts of the gas infrastructure, and such moves are above all attacks on Serbia, they concluded.

Aleksandar Vulin expressed his gratitude to President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin for enabling Serbia to protect its population and economy from the instability and economic shocks suffered by the countries of the European Union.

"The policy of President Aleksandar Vucic is a policy of mutual respect between Serbia and Russia, and it allows Serbia to develop and become more confident in its energy security. That this policy is right is also evident in the extension of the gas arrangement and the fact that, regardless of the huge demand on world markets, Serbia is receiving gas in the quantities it has set itself and at a price that is many times lower than that paid by all other countries in Europe," said Vulin.

He also pointed out that all those trying to equate NATO aggression against Serbia with (Russia's) Special Military Operation, regardless of whether they are from the West or from Serbia, want to damage relations between Serbia and Russia by making false comparisons, and also want to end Serbia's neutrality, and thus not only change the past, but damage the future of both Serbs and Russians.

Ambassador Botsan-Kharchenko thanked Aleksandar Vulin for his great personal contribution to cooperation between Serbia and Russia in all positions in which he has served Serbia. Vulin accepted the invitation from Secretary of the National Security Council of Russia Sergei Shoigu to participate in a security forum that will be held at the end of May in Moscow, along with top security sector representatives from around the world.
