\"I think we are at the beginning of a bigger war.\"
In this episode of MD MEETS, Mathias Döpfner sits down with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić just one day after his highly controversial meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Long regarded as one of Europe's leaders closest to Vladimir Putin, Vučić explains why he welcomed Zelensky to Belgrade, why Serbia refuses to choose between East and West, and why he believes his country's independent foreign policy serves Serbian interests better than alignment with any geopolitical bloc. The conversation explores Serbia's balancing act between Russia, Ukraine, China and the European Union, the future of peace negotiations, hybrid warfare, NATO, Kosovo, and the changing balance of global power. Vučić also shares his concerns about Europe's economic decline, argues that the continent must work harder to remain competitive, and explains why he believes the world is entering a new and more dangerous era.
Is Europe prepared for a changing world order? And are today's conflicts only the beginning of something much bigger?
