Everyone preparing for war, says Serbia’s president

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has noted that the global military situation is rapidly approaching a major conflict. In an interview with RTV1 on Oct. 4, Vučić noted that NATO countries and other states have already begun active preparations, Izvestia reports.

“I will speak frankly — everyone is preparing for war,” Vučić said, commenting on rising international tensions.

He added that diplomatic mechanisms are effectively not functioning today, and dialogue between countries has broken down. Vučić cautioned that the international community is approaching a dangerous threshold, crossing which could lead to unpredictable consequences.

The Serbian president stated that his country will maintain neutrality and try to avoid involvement in any potential conflict. He also warned that the loss of dialogue and increasing aggression between states could result in a global catastrophe.
