BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia's refusal to impose sanctions on its ally Russia remains the main obstacle to a speedier European Union accession bid, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Friday, describing the move as the "condition above all conditions" set by the bloc.
Serbia has long performed a delicate balancing act between its European aspirations, partnership with NATO and its centuries-old religious, ethnic and political alliance with Russia.
