Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic alerted his country during a grim national address about the state of international affairs, warning that the world was living through the most dire geopolitical crisis since World War II. 

"Dear citizens of Serbia, respected journalists…today I want to start my address by asking the citizens of our country, because I will exclusively speak about Serbia, without mentioning political parties, their interests, or anything similar. I will talk about the problems we are facing," he said, in a speech broadcasted by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS).

Vucic resorted to honesty regarding the next course of action the world might witness, basing his judgment on political experience and discussions with different world leaders, and told the people of Serbia that escalations are to be expected in the upcoming months, with Europe and the world facing "very serious consequences". 

He called for open discourse regarding the situation, stressing "We must be firmly determined to do our job in the best possible way, to preserve peace, to ensure economic growth."

However, he did claim Serbia would get away with a more favorable state than the rest of Europe. 

Ukraine ceasefire or full conflict with Russia

In March, Vucic had similarly declared that the world stands in front of two plausible scenarios, either a full conflict between the West and Russia or a long-term ceasefire in Ukraine.

At a news conference in Belgrade with the president of the German state Bavaria, Markus Soder, Vucic said, "One scenario is whether the West will go in the direction of a full conflict with Russia since it is not entirely easy to stop the Russian army on the ground."

“And the second is that with the help of the United States of America and China, some kind of long-term truce if not permanent peace, would be established, which would mean a huge relief for the world," he added. 

Vucic emphasized that if it heads toward the first scenario, conflict expansion, no one would benefit.
