Serbia is expected to sign a free-trade agreement with the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union (EES), following veiled warnings from the European Union.

The accord, to be inked during a visit by Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic to Moscow, would replace the existing free-trade deals between Belgrade and Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
