→Foreign Relations
Immediately preceding the NATO bombing campaign of the F.R.Y. in spring 1999, the U.S. and most European countries severed relations with the F.R.Y., and the U.S. Embassy was closed. Since October 5, 2000, foreign embassies, including that of the U.S., have reopened, and Serbia, as the successor state to the F.R.Y., regained its seat in such international organizations as the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the UN and is actively participating in International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank projects. In 2003, Serbia was admitted to the Council of Europe. Serbia has also indicated its desire to join the EU and NATO's Partnership for Peace. Both NATO and the EU have made full ICTY cooperation a prerequisite for Serbia's increased cooperation with these organizations. Negotiations with the EU on a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA)--the first step toward eventual accession—began after a positive feasibility study in April 2005. Despite two rounds of successful technical talks, the EU suspended talks in May 2006, citing a lack of movement by Serbia on apprehending Mladic and other indictees. In November 2006, NATO invited Serbia into Partnership for Peace, but made further progress toward NATO membership conditional on better ICTY cooperation. In June 2007, the EU resumed talks on an SAA with Serbia in the wake of improved cooperation on war crimes issues.

====Serbia-Kosovo front====
On April 11, 2022 ''DefenseNews'' of Australia reported Serbia had received a battery of FK-3 medium-range, road-mobile, surface-to-air anti-aircraft missile systems and CH-92 armed drones from China.<ref>https://www.defensenews.com/land/2022/04/11/china-delivers-anti-aircraft-missiles-to-serbia/</ref>
On July 25, 2022 [[Serbia]]n Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin revealed that "One of the largest intelligence services in the world informed me that my views are unacceptable and that if I do not change them and if I do not abandon the [[policy]] I lead, everything possible will be done to prevent me from being a member of the Government and they will try to compromise me in any way," he told local media ''Pink''. Vulin said he expects "a massive attack" against him in the [[media]]. "The campaign of lies and attacks against me will begin very quickly and in full force. The condition was that I start working for them and abandon my politics, and I won't do it at the expense of my head!" he said. "The intelligence services also told me which agencies will carry out the attack, which [[journalist]]s and in what way. So, to a greater extent, I know what will happen," he added. The minister stressed that he flatly refused to cooperate with foreign spies. "I don't work for anyone else except the Serbian people, for the Serbian state, and I have no loyalty to anyone else except the president of all Serbs, Aleksandar Vucic."
On July 26, 2022 Biden foreign minister Antony Blinken visited [[Kosovo]].<ref>https://www.state.gov/secretary-blinkens-meeting-with-kosovan-president-osmani-and-prime-minister-kurti/</ref> Days later fighting broke out on the Serbian border.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/rmUpdHopchZj/</ref> On July 31, 2022 tensions erupted as the NATO puppet attempted to implement discriminatory laws against Serbs.<ref>https://youtu.be/XfBfhBaB8dI</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/2S44XQ78oMg</ref> Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic issued a plea for peace in Kosovo. “The atmosphere has been heated up, and the Serbs will not suffer any more atrocities. My plea to everyone is to try to keep the peace at almost any cost. I am asking the Albanians to come to their senses, the Serbs not to fall for provocations, but I am also asking the representatives of powerful and large countries, which have recognized the so-called independence of Kosovo, to pay a little attention to [[international law]] and reality on the ground and not to allow their wards to cause conflict.” Church bells rang in alarm across the northern part of the province amid reports that armed ethnic Albanians were gathering for another pogrom of the remaining Serbs – as had happened in 2004. Kosovo special forces appeared in the city of Kosovska Mitrovicaa.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/LhaozSvOvRnN/</ref> Albanian special forces were deployed to the administrative line.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/6i4UfsvW4Oml/</ref>
On August 5, 2022 Vladimir Jukanovic, a representative in the National Assembly of the Serbian Progressive ruling party, proposed Serbia taking the lead in the denazification of the Balkans.
With threats from the EU and NATO looming, on Sunday August 13, 2022 a crowd of 50,000 Serbs marched in the streets of [[Belgrade]] for [[traditional values]].<ref>https://youtu.be/L3GN4dtC6Ok</ref>
On August 22, 2022 President Vucic urged NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) to "do their job" in Kosovo, warning that if they do not, Serbia will take action to defend Serbs living there. Following the breakdown of negotiations between leaders of Serbia and Kosovo, which were mediated by the European Union in Brussels, President Vucic delivered a televised address to the nation: “We have nowhere to go, we are cornered. We will save our people from persecution and pogroms, if NATO does not want to do it." Additionally, he asserted it is necessary to prevent Kosovo Albanian "gangs" from entering northern Kosovo, where the majority of Kosovo Serbs reside. Serbia was dismembered in a NATO war of aggression in 1998, leaving a minority of Serbs residing in Kosovo. Vucic said the arduous struggle for the survival of Serbs in Kosovo and the city of Metohija continues to this day. Kosovars, he added "refused everything, they only care about destroying the lives of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and that the only purpose of bullying our people in Kosovo and Metohija is their final expulsion."<ref>https://www.elethos.gr/2022/08/serbian-president-vucic-vows-to-protect.html</ref>
On Sunday August 27, 2022 more than 100,000 people marched in a Traditional values parade in Belgrade.<ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/Xn7q6NsWItDZ/</ref><ref>https://www.bitchute.com/video/YMV6ALoA7MtH/</ref>
NATO warlord Jens Stoltenberg threatened to send NATO forces to exacerbate tensions, however Russian President Vladimir Putin's intervention encouraged reconciliation between the estranged neighbors.<ref>https://archive.ph/pIQxP</ref>
In December 2022 the Serbia-Kosovo front heated up with NATO support for U.S.-backed Kosovo separatists.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvoYKg9GLs</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/GX4biSxeNkU</ref>
On December 12, 2022 the Serbian prime minister claimed that the country is on the verge of war with the NATO-backed renegade separatists in Kosovo because of the actions of the Kosovo prime minister and the inaction of the European Union. Another escalation began on December 10 after the arrest of a former Serbian policeman. After his arrest, Serbian protesters, wishing to prevent his transfer to [[Pristina]], erected barricades blocking traffic through two main crossings in the direction of Serbia proper. Gunfire was heard in a several settlements. The forces of the EU Special mission (EULEX) and NATO (KFOR) have already arrived at the crossing in northern Kosovo.
Belgrade sent a request to the NATO mission to deploy forces of Serbian army and police in accordance with the provisions of the UN Security Council resolution.
The situation in the region is aggravated by the recently declared decision of the U.S.-backed separatists to apply for EU membership. President Aleksandar Vucic called those plans a direct violation of the Washington agreements, signed in 2020 with the mediation of the United States. President Vucic said that the Kosovo separatists and the United States were not fulfilling any of the previously reached agreements on the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija. Vucic also commented on the recent duplicity admitted by NATO ally and former German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]] that the Minsk agreements mediated by Germany between the Donbas Republics and the NATO-backed Kyiv regime were only intended to gain more time to strengthen the Kyiv regime and prepare for war with Russia. The Serbian leader believes that her words change the situation dramatically. “In every sense, first of all politically, and for me this is a clear signal of who cannot be trusted."
