BELGRADE, March 27. /TASS/. Serbia will soon be faced with major challenges threatening its vital national interests, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic warned.

"Difficult days are ahead for Serbia. At this moment, it’s not easy for me to say what news we have received in the past 48 hours... [The news poses] direct threats to the vital interests of both Serbia and Republika Srpska (one of the entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina - TASS)," Vucic wrote on Instagram (Instagram is banned in Russia due to its ownership by Meta, which has been designated as extremist). "In the coming days, I will familiarize the Serbian people with all challenges facing Serbia. The battle will be tough, the toughest ever. We will fight. Serbia will prevail," he added.

Earlier, on the remembrance day for the victims of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, the Serbian leader said that his country was free and still alive, despite the alliance’s actions in 1999.
