Serbia will not recognize pseudo-referendums in the territories occupied by the Russian Federation.

“That would be completely contrary to our national and state interests, the preservation of sovereignty and territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders,” Selakovic said during a press conference.

Meanwhile, Russia’s ally Belarus remains ambivalent on how it will treat the outcome of the so-called “referendum.”

“We recognize Russia; nobody can foresee what exactly will happen tomorrow,” Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladmir Makei told French TV channel France 24.

“We’ll carefully examine the situation and make the decision, guided by our own national interests – not some else’s.”
