MINSK (Sputnik) - Earlier in October, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin told a German newspaper that his country is exploring the possibility of joining BRICS as an alternative to becoming a member of the European Union.
Serbia is ready to keep participating in BRICS events, the organization is attractive because it does not set conditions, Aleksandar Vulin told Sputnik.

"Certainly, every time we are invited, we will attend BRICS events," Vulin said at the 2nd International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk.

Commenting on criticism from Western countries about his visit to the BRICS Summit in Kazan, he said Serbia is an independent state that will independently determine its policy and path.
"The West would still like to pursue a colonial policy and consider Serbia a colony, but Serbia is not a colony. We have free people. I act in the interests of the republic's citizens, and not in the interests of the European Union, NATO or other external forces," the deputy prime minister said.
