Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated that current global developments may already resemble a world war, although it is not officially acknowledged as such. He expressed this view in an interview with the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung.

According to him, the struggle for resources — including oil, gas, minerals, and rare metals — is already underway, making it increasingly difficult to prevent escalation into a global conflict.

Vucic also noted that many countries are trying to buy time while preparing for larger and more serious confrontations. He did not rule out that such conflicts could involve the use of nuclear weapons.

The Serbian leader recalled that both World Wars began with regional conflicts that eventually escalated into large-scale confrontations between opposing blocs.

In this context, he called on major powers to openly acknowledge that they no longer support the existing international order based on the UN system and are effectively competing to reshape it.

Earlier, Vucic also stated that Croatia, Albania, and the self-proclaimed Kosovo are forming an alliance and preparing for actions against Serbia.
