Hello. Welcome to the Europe Conversation. I'm Stefan Grover. My guest today is the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, a man whose political journey an American news magazine once described as from nationalist hawk to devout Europeanist. Mr. President, thank you so much for joining us today.

The article I was referring to was from 2014. Are you still a devout Europeanist?

In the meantime, I became a usual suspect, but as a matter of fact, yeah, I'm pro-European oriented.

Now, Serbia is an interesting country. People love Donald Trump and people are also very fond of Vladimir Putin. I wonder, is there any excitement for Europe or European leaders? We never see any European flags during the protests.
