President Tomislav Nikolic late on Sunday spoke for B92 about EU integration, Russia, Kosovo, his relationship with the government and the PM, and other topics.
It is often said that the president is closer to Russia, the government to Brussels, and the prime minister to Berlin – something that Nikolic commented by saying that both he and the government “look towards both Moscow and Brussels.”
“It is important to maintain the position of looking in all directions, to have good relations with everyone, not to cause offense, unless it comes to national interests. I’m not separating Berlin and Brussels, Berlin has the biggest influence on Brussels, but tell me, what is the alternative if we opt for one side? To quarrel with the other?
