  1. Here are the translations:

    * “Plenković (Croatian PM) threatens Vučić (Serbian president) through his media!”
    * “Prime Minister Brnabić on Croatian lobbying: That oil is at least 20 percent more expesive than the Russian, it’s an open act of hostility”
    * “Due to insisting of the ustashe (fascist puppet regime installed in Croatia 1941-1945 during the Nazi occupation) regime in Croatia led by the Prime Minister of that country Andrej Plenković, that package will cover Serbia as well because it won’t be able to import Russian oil through Janaf (Croatian pipeline) anymore”
    * “Croatia decided to stop the import of Russian oil to Serbia through Janaf”
    * “Plenković, who cares if you’re a head Ustasha? You proved that you’re led only by the will to hurt the Serbian people!”
    * “Croatian revenge on Vučić for blocking the visit to Jasenovac? Vesić: embargo on Russian oil is like Germans imposing sanctions on Israel”
    * “President after the Croatian lobbying: I thank our neighbours, they’re just doing the same thing they’ve been doing since 1941! They bragged and then made up my statement”
    * “Ustashi politics towards Serbia is a mixture of bad intentions and complexes! Wherever it’s possible to hurt Serbia, there’s Croatia!”
    * “Croatia headed by Plenković stopped the import of Russian oil to Serbia through Janaf”
    * “(Video) People, you have to see this – Vučić destroyed Ustashe! It’s not Croatia’s fault – they’re just doing their job, like they have been doing from 1941 until now!”
    * “Tycoons (opposition media) hit just like Plenković the Ustasha! We need to push Vučić against the wall, that’s how to break Serbia’s spine!”
    * “This is an open act of hostility of Croatia towards Serbia.”

  3. Of course, it’s just spinning to create fictional enemy and be like – that happened because of Croats and not because of our incompetent government (which we still don’t have). Vučić is acting like he’s shocked, but even he said this will happen more than a month ago. Funny thing is we only get around 15% of our oil from Russia, and it’s 20% cheaper, but I guarantee they will use this to pump up the gas prices even more, much much more.

  6. I think they were also caught in Romania giving state secretes to Russia. ( they discovered some gas or oil fields in the Banat region.

    They are out from Romania now. (gasprom – run by Serbs)

  7. Don’t you love when a country responsable for horrible war crimes just a few decades ago accuse everyone else of being fascists and Nazis?

  9. I think this should be eye-opening for any Greater Serbia nationalist who hangs around in here.

    My guess?

    This action was taken without even thinking about Serbia, because it’s Serbia, and no one really cares about Serbia. It’s a sort of irrelevant, small nation, that desperately seeks geopolitical isolation from its neighbors or the EU.

    And if the EU was aware?

    They probably didn’t care that much. Again: Serbia has made its position pretty clear. Most Serbs are more pro-Kremlin than pro-Brussels. That’s fine. You’re a sovereign nation. You do you. But that also means we get to completely ignore you as something to take into account, when it comes to our geopolitical calculations.

    I think Serbia has reached the “Find Out” part of the “Fuck Around” graph, and realizes that it’s not actually that relevant, at the European scope of geopolitics. But instead of owning up to that humbling fact, it decides to just inflame tensions with its Croat neighbors, because nothing says Serbian Nationalists like throwing verbal bombs against Croats, Bosnians, or Albanians and blaming them for your own stupid fucking decisions.

    At the end of the day, the most basic principle of Greater Serbia nationalism isn’t even the “where there is a Serb, that’s Serbia”. It’s actually “waaaaahhh! Why is everyone so meeeaaannnn to meeeeeeeee?”

  12. Serbia seems to be using their tabloids the same way the UK does, a problem ? Blame the Croatians/French

  14. Well. Serbia isn’t in the EU. Can the EU even do that to a non member? Also, doesn’t Serbia get most of its oil through Romanian or Hungary?

  15. HEY THAT’S FAKE NEWS!!! Our nazi regime has no real power in the EU! They can’t just blame us.
