This year, Serbia is at the top of Europe for the number of hours spent at work in one week. The working week in Serbia lasts 41,3 hours, while in the European Union a maximum of 36 hours are worked per week. This is why workers in Serbia work more than workers in Europe
Putin nevertheless received Vučić. If the latter is to be believed, Serbia will have as much oil and gas as our hearts desire. And a cheap one. I am afraid, however, of the folk saying "He who does not pay on the bridge, pays on the bridge".

European Union (EU) reached an agreement on the 18th package of sanctions against Russia because of the war in Ukraine, with a series of measures aimed at dealing further blows to the Russian oil and energy industry.
