Belgrade Trip – German Embassy and Ukraine

Hopefully I won’t publish a post before I’ve finished it like yesterday, but this is short and sweet so I might manage to avoid such incompetence. Anyway, I liked the German Embassy’s unsubtle way of showing support for Ukraine by having this outside. I mention this as the link between Serbia and Germany seems fascinating to me, the latter is the former’s largest trade partner and Germany is supporting the Serbian bid to join the European Union. However, Germany recognises Kosovo and that has caused tension, although there seems to be an air of inevitability about that now, without my getting involved with international border disputes (which I accept are beyond the remit of this blog). The German Foreign Office web-site mentions the disagreement on the Serbian page, but the Serbian web-site makes no mention of the issue on their German page.

But it was a little sign of love for Ukraine.
