KAZAN, October 27. /TASS/. Russian assets in Serbia will be reliably protected, Minister responsible for international economic cooperation in the Serbian government Nenad Popovic said in an interview with TASS.

“Serbia leads an independent, free policy. Serbia is a democratic country where the leadership led by President (Aleksandar) Vucic thinks about the interests of the Serbian citizens. Any foreign investor is protected in terms of his capital in Serbia. I can say that the Russian Capitala from Serbia will be absolutely protected because this is our policy, this is international law and we respect international law,” the minister said.

Serbia faces pressure from the West because there are many assets of Gazprom and other Russian companies, Popovic added.
