22 September 2022 at 10:17. Serbia is in the middle of ´NATO SEA´ surrounded by many NATO members and far from its allies of CSTO-the Russian military alliance, yet with a border with Hungary, an ally of Russia and China, so Serbia is in a complicated situation, yet not so different from Hungary that perfect plays how to sit ´On the Fence´, still, Serbia did not impose any sanctions against Russia, thereby, Serbia is de-facto part of Russia-China coalition, despite that Serbia is also a potential partner of the EU. From the military perspective, the location of Serbia is a strategic asset to the East coalition, so my prediction is that, sooner or later, Serbia may join to one of the East trade alliances like SCO. Besides, if will start a war between NATO and Russia, then I have a big doubt if two members of NATO, Hungary and Turkey, will join the war against Russia. Very likely, that they will keep on neutrality.
