Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s first official visit to Serbia at the weekend prompted understandable debate and reaction about Kyiv’s relations with Belgrade. Serbia nominally supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and Serbian-origin ammunition has reached Ukrainian forces through third countries. Yet Belgrade has not joined the European Union’s sanctions regime against Russia and continues to maintain close political and economic ties with Moscow. But should this come at the cost of Kyiv politically distancing itself from Kosovo, its continued policy of not recognising Kosovo’s independence, and staying silent about Serbia’s efforts to undermine Kosovo’s security and international agency? It adopted sanctions against Russia, aligned itself with the Western response to Russian aggression, including recognising Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and right to self-defence.
