Vučić Showed How International Law Is Defended and Double Standards of Great Powers Are Destroyed: Analysts: Arguments That Are Slowly Reaching the Consciousness of Political Elites in Europe
From the International Conference on Global Politics in France, the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, sent messages that resonated far beyond the usual diplomatic addresses. Instead of general phrases and cautious formulations, Vučić insisted on the principles of international law as foundations that must not be subject to political interests and selective application. Precisely along these lines, he openly pointed to the double standards of great powers, questioning narratives that have been presented as unquestionable truths for years.
