Latvia’s Foreign Minister has revealed that the European Union has instructed Western Balkan countries seeking EU membership not to attend Russia’s Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9.
“We had a productive evening yesterday with our Western Balkan partners. EU member states gave very clear guidance to candidate countries: do not attend the May 9 parade in Moscow and avoid such visits, as they do not align with EU values,” said Baiba Braže.
🇷🇸 So far, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is the only Western Balkans leader who has publicly expressed his intention to visit Moscow for the event.
🇸🇰 Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico—whose country is already an EU member—is also expected to attend.
