Summary/Abstract: The war in Ukraine has resulted in an increased demand for candidate countries to align with the EU common foreign and security policy (CFSP). Given its special partnership with Russia and internal political dynamics, Serbia’s alignment with the EU’s foreign policy declarations and restrictive measures significantly decreased in 2022. There is no real incentive for Serbia to harmonize its foreign policy with the EU, however, assistance from the EU to gradually reduce Belgrade’s dependency on Russia might be beneficial to trigger a higher degree of alignment in the long-run.
