Vucic: Serbia does not want to join NATO, maintains military neutrality

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic noted on Friday Serbia was not a part of Atlantic integration and did not want to join NATO, but maintained its military neutrality.

At a special parliament session on Kosovo-Metohija, Vucic said Serbia was on a path to the EU, but not on a path to Atlantic integration.

"Serbia is on the European path, and as far as Atlantic integration is concerned, Serbia does not want to join NATO. Serbia wants to jealously protect its military neutrality and get stronger," he said in response to criticism by Dveri MP Ivan Kostic.

"There is a difference between European integration and Atlantic integration," Vucic noted.
