Thanks brothers!
Apparently the “brothers” have had other priorities like Italy, US etc. There is a pattern here: after 30 years of anti-Serbian policies including arming of the Croatian fascists and financing of the independence of Montenegro, all of sudden Russians try to present themselves as our brothers. What a fake brotherhood. If we were able to survive with Russia as our enemy we certainly could survive with them pretending to be our friends. Any self-respecting Serbian government should have rejected any ” help” from Russia.
