Despite intense pressure from Brussels’ foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, the nationalist leaders of Slovakia and Serbia are resolutely standing their ground, opting to honor their historical ties with Russia rather than yield to the petty whims of unelected and increasingly irrelevant EU bureaucrats.
Both Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić have confirmed that, regardless of any backlash that they may face from globalists leading the EU, they will be attending Moscow’s Victory Day celebrations on May 9, marking a major symbolic break from the European Union’s official stance.
Fico, known for his nationalist, left-populist politics and strong anti-globalist rhetoric, dismissed criticism from EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, the former prime minister of Estonia, a country of 1.3 million people, who warned against any EU officials participating in the annual event.
