Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin stated that the future belongs all of humanity, regardless of whether they come from the East or West. He emphasized that Serbs believe in traditional values — God, nation and family — which are shared by people worldwide.

Serbia is considering joining BRICS as an alternative to EU membership, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin told German newspaper Berliner Zeitung.

Serbia "will certainly be present in Kazan" in Russia for the BRICS Summit later this month, Vulin said. "It would be irresponsible not to explore all possibilities, including BRICS membership."
