Europe Cannot Grow Strong Without Improving Relations With Russia
MOSCOW (Sputnik) Restoration of normal relations between Russia and the European Union will be the natural course of events, Serbian Ambassador in Moscow Slavenko Terzic said Monday.

"It seems natural to me that in the near future normal relations between Russia and the European Union should be restored," Terzic told journalists, adding that Russia is a part of European civilization.

According to the Serbian diplomat, the bloc "does not act independently enough" on a number of international issues.

Moscow and the European Union have seen a deterioration of relations since 2014 following an escalation of a Ukrainian internal conflict.

Since 2014, the bloc has introduced several rounds of anti-Russia sanctions, accusing Moscow of fueling the Ukrainian crisis, a claim the Kremlin has repeatedly denied.

Russia responded to the restrictive measures with a one-year food embargo, announced in August 2014. The ban has since been extended for another year.
