On Wednesday, the UN General Assembly suspended Russia from the UNHRC in a 93-24 vote, with 58 countries abstaining.
"People ask why we have not voted against or have not abstained. But if we abstain, other countries will be against us, the pressure will increase. At the same time, right today, a decision on the destiny of Serbia – whether we will be excluded from the oil sanctions – is being made," Vucic told Radio Television of Serbia on late Wednesday.
Vucic once again said that Serbia may face harsh restrictions over its decision not to join the sanctions against Russia.
