Abstract:
The article aims to investigate the main direction of Serbian foreign
policy in the post-Milosevic period. The article argues that Serbia was confronted
with a negative external image, which emerged after the crimes against
humanity that occurred in former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, during the
conflicts that marked the dissolution of this multi-national federation. The article
shows how Serbia overcame this negative perception through a pragmatic pro-
European policy and intelligently used the 2015 migration crisis to show a new
face to European leaders. Moreover, the article shows that Serbia is trying to
keep a balance between Russia and the EU, but that this balance is increasingly
precarious.
Keywords: Serbia, Russia, EU, foreign policy.
