And Greece came in at 108!

The difference is Serbia is not (yet) an EU country and can't veto the EU sanctions. But yes, I don't like Serbia's attitude regarding this conflict either. And, before being accused of prejudice again, I'm half Serb.​​​​
A country doesn't have to be in the EU to apply sanctions.

ETA: Fidesz did accuse Marki Zay of wanting to take Hungary into the war but then as the Brits found out a couple of years ago (courtesy of the Law courts) campaigning politicians do make claims that may, or may not be true!
