issue here. will it hold because, after all, the pressure turns out to be very powerful, but let's start in order. the presidential elections have already been held in april , the parliamentary elections have been local, but the government is still not there, as the political situation, then in serbia as a result. quite right, the entire electoral cycle is over, the government has not yet been formed. this is true, but uh, in this case hmm this corresponds to the time frame within which the government should be formed, a and b now, uh, active intensive consultations will begin, a with the party. well , of course, we proceed from the fact that the government will be a coalition and uh, we can hope and

count on the fact that uh in the near future. well , maybe this is the end of whether this is the beginning of the fall of the government will be formed while it is important uh, the fact that the current governments are in the technical mandate. as they say, it continues to work successfully, there are none, and in particular , with regard to cooperation in relations with russia, the implementation of programs and those agreements, that relate to russian serbian ties say something concrete about the composition of the government. while it is difficult. i said that the consultations are starting, probably later it will be possible to speak, probably according to our own spectrum of the political spectrum of character. e approaches, it will generally correspond to what was before, e, the current

government or the previous one. uh, so we're assuming our relationship will continue and no major changes. there is no expectation here as far as the approaches of the very government. i'm not talking about the fact that, naturally, the point of view and the tasks that are set by the president of serbia, but alexander nonetheless, are decisive. e, despite the fact that the government is working, as you said successfully, there are problems in the economy, and aleksandr vučić herself spoke about this. is there, uh, some kind of trend that can, or rather, some reasons that can turn the tide. and in general, uh, how is the economic situation in serbia? and indeed, the president pays attention and uh, well, and first of all, the situation itself shows that there is a certain deterioration, certain difficulties,

and uh. some difficulties concern the social sphere as well as the situation. as the saying goes ordinary citizens, first of all i mean and, uh, some rise in prices, although in this case, as far as serbia is concerned, it is. e this growth does not go off scale, what is important is that, unlike, if we take across europe and compare with, well, comparable countries, and maybe even more powerful economically than much more powerful and economically than serbia a in serbia sustainable supplies. i mean energy carriers and basic basic commodities let's say so, so i can't say that there is any social discontent or social tension. yes, serbia , uh, it is tightly and deeply integrated into the

european economy into the regional one. therefore, what is happening in europe as a whole, of course, can not but affect serbia, but here i would like to emphasize. e, what is both a fact and what is also, what the president of serbia is also talking about is our cooperation, which, in conditions not accession of serbia to anti-russian sanctions. what the european union and washington are trying to push serbia towards and our cooperation is a very weighty, tangible visible, stabilizing factor and a factor in maintaining the serbian economy at the proper level of maintaining economic growth in industrial growth. although it is smaller. but nevertheless it continues and goes back to what i said providing all the goods that are

necessary for life to ensure and maintain sustainable development. alexander times you touched the topic of economics. and there are a couple more questions on this topic, and first of all, the sustainability that you said, it is based on our energy sources through our supplies. at the best prices currently on the market. eh, or rather, they are below the market. uh, the market is worth a lot more, but still about it. there is some understanding in serbia in the serbian society. and what, well, is russia essentially dating now? of course, you can say that, alexander, you are absolutely right. it's not just that the price is lower market. it is many times lower by orders of magnitude lower than the market. naturally. this is due to the fact that e is directly related to the fact that serbia does not

join the sanctions, so you can lead, and in this case i don’t want to say or make any hint, let’s say that this is a gift to the serbs. yes partly it shows our uh, good friendly relations, understanding the understanding of the interests and concerns that uh here in serbia but at the same time, this is directly related to the ability to conduct normal economic cooperation on mutually beneficial conditions, therefore, uh in this. we cannot say that russia is giving serbia a gift to the detriment. uh, for uh our interests and for our conclusions. i emphasize that this decision is low. the price against the background of the current market price. uh, it provides normal, perfectly

normal benefits and mutually beneficial cooperation, both in energy and in general across the entire spectrum of , uh, interaction. this is very important when it comes to relationships. of course, there is understanding. this also applies to senior management and government. and what most importantly, of course, all strata of society and e in public opinion. uh, of course, well, it's hard to find, even if you take, but people are strongly oriented to the west. uh, as they say, here is a certain layer about western and serbian society. that uh, understanding here in this matter. it certainly exists. of course, it exists, and i would emphasize one more thing, that this contract is so beneficial for serbia. well, and beneficial for our relations as a whole, i repeat. he, uh, even corrected

the points of view and approaches of those who are not quite, i was in such, uh, positions of support for russia of such people. a little is far from being the majority. i wanted to ask, and this is a layer, well, of course. it is difficult to quantify it, but nonetheless. this is a layer about western people in serbia, how big is it? it's really small, it 's not definitive, and er, even let's take it. here, uh, for some social event. yes , demonstrations to public events, of course, everything that happens and is organized in support of russia in support of a special military operation of our approaches, of course, prevails, of course, prevails, because there have been attempts in the main.
