"Countries in the accession process are expected to align with EU decisions. Serbia is a candidate country and that is why it is expected to harmonize with EU decisions in the field of foreign and security policy," Stano told Voice of America.

The EU previously introduced new sanctions against Russia, which puts more politicians and officials on a black list, prohibits EU investors from trading in Russian government bonds, as well as exports and imports from and to breakaway regions, after Russia recognized the two self-proclaimed independent republics in Donbass, in eastern Ukraine.
