Former Serbian ambassador to Belarus, Srećko Gjukić, has warned that statements by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić could draw Serbia into global conflicts. According to Gjukić, this concern stems from Vučić’s claim that CIA and Mossad intelligence agencies are operating in Iran.
“Such statements can cause serious damage to Serbia’s foreign policy. Serbia is not an actor in Middle Eastern conflicts and has no interest in becoming involved by making accusations against two of the most powerful Western intelligence services,” Gjukić said in an interview with the newspaper Nova.
He added that public claims of this nature can objectively be interpreted as a hostile narrative toward the United States and Israel, potentially pulling Serbia into global conflicts and intelligence wars that far exceed its political and strategic capacity.
“The comparison with 1953 and the overthrow of (Prime Minister Mohammad) Mossadegh in Iran represents a classic propaganda framework of anti-American and anti-Western discourse, which may be perceived as a political message to Washington and Tel Aviv,” Gjukić emphasized.
He warned that such rhetoric further complicates Serbia’s international position and creates confusion in its foreign policy direction.
