Serbia proposes itself as the venue for Putin-Trump talks
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has offered his country as a potential venue for talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the next US president, Donald Trump, promising to guarantee their security.
“I see that some are offering their countries as a venue for a meeting between Putin and Trump. I would like to officially declare for the first time that Serbia is interested in hosting a meeting between the Russian and US presidents. Why? Not only because Serbia is not a formal member of any military bloc, like many other states that offer their hospitality. Serbia is equally distant from both blocs, NATO and the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization, a security bloc led by Russia), being, in fact, a completely independent and autonomous country, which is ready to guarantee the security of both presidents,” he told the Pink television channel, quoted by international sources.
“At the same time, this is a state where President Trump enjoys the greatest support in all of Europe. No other country can boast support for President Trump equal to that of Serbia. Not even one. I'm not talking about the leaders, but about the support of the nation in general. On the other hand, this is a state where President Putin is still very popular. For this reason, I think this is the best place on Earth to host both presidents,” Vucic noted.
US national security adviser Mike Waltz told ABC News that telephone talks between Trump and Putin could be arranged within days or weeks. We remind you that Trump will officially be in office from January 2nd.
On January 10, Trump said preparations for his potential meeting with Putin were underway, as it was necessary to end the Ukrainian conflict. According to Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov, the Russian leader is ready to meet the new US leader Donald Trump without any preconditions, but "there are no specific details yet."
We remind you that Putin has already accepted Slovakia's offer to host meetings with Trump, but he has not yet responded to Fico.
