Serbia protests after a Croatian official calls its president a Russian stooge

Serbia on Sunday sent a protest note after Croatia’s foreign minister described Serbia’s populist President Aleksandar Vucic as a Russian “satellite” in the Balkans. Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlic Radman told N1 television on Saturday that Vucic must decide which side he is on, Russia or the European Union, “because it is impossible and uncomfortable sitting on two chairs at the same time.”
