Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic sparked concerns across Europe after he issued a grim and enigmatic statement about the future of his country. Taking to social media on Tuesday, Mr Vucic rang alarm bells about an unspecified threat regarding both his country and the ethnically Serb Republika Srpska part of Bosnia.

The politician wrote on Facebook: “Difficult days are ahead of Serbia. At this moment, it is not easy to say what kind of news we have received in the last 48 hours, [but] they directly threaten our vital national interests, both of Serbia and Srpska.”

Possibly alluding to skirmishes or even a conflict, the populist politician added: “In the coming days, I will introduce the people of Serbia to all the challenges that lie ahead. It will be difficult. We will fight. Serbia will win.”

Mr Vucic, who supports his country’s bid to join the European Union but also wants to retain close ties with Russia and China, has not clarified the meaning behind the widely reported post.

Also on Tuesday, he shared a video on Instagram with the following caption: “There is a small nation in Europe, in a small country, in a small territory, which still stands proud and dignified, which does not agree to occupation and orders from outside.
