The Serbian president said at an election rally that Serbia does not need to join NATO and said that 'we should rely on ourselves to defend our motherland.' At the same time, he also mentioned that they will never forget and will not It is time to forget the harm that NATO caused to Serbia in 1999.

Although several countries surrounding Serbia have joined NATO one after another, even in this case, he still chose not to join NATO. This is because they have an undying hatred for NATO. In 1999, NATO conducted a 78-day bombing campaign against Serbia. This war not only directly led to the split of Yugoslavia, but also made more than 200,000 people homeless. The most infuriating thing is that during the bombing During the war with Yugoslavia, NATO dropped more than 1,400 depleted uranium bombs, which later caused countless people to suffer. Let me ask, if Serbia chooses to join NATO, wouldn't it be complicit with them? Even if the president agrees, the people of Serbia will definitely not agree.

In addition, if Serbia wants to join NATO, it must recognize the independence of Kosovo, which is originally a part of Serbia. Although Kosovo has been recognized by many countries after declaring independence in 2008, Serbia But it has never recognized it, and once it recognizes Kosovo's independence, it will be equivalent to splitting its own country.

Finally, the relationship between Serbia and Russia is very good. Even if there is a war between Ukraine and Russia, most European countries have announced sanctions on Russia, but Serbia has always insisted that it will not sanction Russia, and the President of Serbia has Cic also said that Serbia will not join any military organization, which proves that he will not join NATO.

So, Serbia’s biggest problem is still economic, because after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Serbia’s economy has not been very good. In Europe, Serbia has always been at the bottom. It is eager to join the European Union. However, if poor Serbia wants to join the EU, it will inevitably bring a considerable economic burden. Naturally, the EU member states will not be happy, so Serbia’s application has not been approved. However, with the advancement of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, China will inevitably Bring more support and help to this country and boost Serbia’s economy.
