In an interview with a Serbian newspaper on October 18, Medvedev criticized the United States, accusing Washington of "striving…to dominate the whole world, including the Balkans and Europe."

Medvedev was in Serbia to help mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade during World War II.

He held meetings with Brnabic and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
