Serbia won't recognise results of Russia's referendums in Ukraine - Vucic [View all]

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia will not recognize the results of referendums held in four regions of Ukraine partly occupied by Russian forces, President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday, despite Belgrade's warm ties with Moscow.

Russian-backed authorities in the four regions say they expect large majorities in favor of joining Russia based on vote tallies in the referendums, which Kyiv and the West have denounced as illegal sham votes held at gunpoint.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin is expected to proclaim the annexation of the four provinces - Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia - in a speech on Friday.

"Serbia ... will not recognize that (referendums) as it adheres to international law, the United Nations Charter and UN resolutions," Vucic told reporters.

Pleasant surprise, usually they're buddy buddy with the Russians.
