EU"s "Freedoms" are an Illusion
Crackdowns on ‘inconvenient’ political parties, personal sanctions regimes, and censorship of alternative media like Sputnik and Russia Today show that the EU’s core values are a “complete lie,” Vulin said.
“You know, one of the things that the European Union always asks from Serbia is to impose sanctions on Russia. They never try to explain to us why. They say, ‘we share the same values.’ What kind of values do we share?...They never explain it…We don"t want to be part of anti-Russia hysteria. We don"t want to be a part of some anti-Russian war in the end. We’ve never done that in our entire history. We don"t want to change that habit,” he emphasized.
