│ │
│ President Vucic made his first visit to │
│ Kyiv since the invasion July 15, pledging │

│ a regional call for stronger Russia │
│ sanctions. Independently corroborated by │
│ Reuters (the same event first surfaced only │
│ via a Kremlin pravda-network domain, which │
│ was excluded as a source). A mild westward │
│ gesture that preserves Serbia's EU-Russia │
│ straddle: Serbia alliance_reliability held, │
