Serbia is facing continued diplomatic pressure from the United States and NATO to align with the West. The recent visit of US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker to Belgrade is interpreted by Serbian geostrategy professor Srdjan Perisic as an effort to push the Serbian government to impose sanctions on Russia and move away from its current foreign policy stance. This follows previous reports of increasing threats against Serbia due to its refusal to sanction Russia, highlighting a sustained campaign to influence Belgrade's geopolitical orientation.
