Keywords:
Serbia, EU, foreign policy, four pillars, sanctions, Russia.Abstract
The paper discusses the process of alignment of Serbia's foreign policy steps in the context of its obligations per Stabilization and Association Agreement and the negotiating process with the European Union. At first we will see the short history of relations, the specificity of Serbia's road towards the EU, and then the practicall steps taken in the foreign policy cooperation and current issues that stand before them. The main one is the relationship with Russia, fot both the Union and Serbia and its poition towards Moscow in the new reality of sanctions and complete cooling down of relations. It represents a immediate test for Belgrade but also a token sign of a stronger pressure for alignment of its foreign policy to the EU one.
