“ The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, suggested that Europe purchase ammunition from the Serbian defense industry, and he is not against it if Serbian weapons are transferred to Ukraine. Source: “European Truth” with reference to the interview of the Serbian president with the German publication Cicero. Direct speech of Vučić: “And although I don’t want to appear as someone who supplies ammunition to the warring party, Europe needs ammunition. I suggested to our friends in Europe to conclude an agreement and buy everything we have from us. This would be a phenomenal contribution to European security.” Details: He added that Serbian warehouses are “full of ammunition”, especially mortar shells. When asked about the possibility of further transfer of ammunition purchased from Serbia to Ukraine, Vucic said that “buyers will be able to do whatever they want with them.” “We just need long-term contracts to plan. I have always said that Serbia is a neutral country. But we are absolutely ready to cooperate with European armies,” the president said, adding that he is currently waiting for a response from European countries regarding his proposal. Background: In May, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia complained that Serbian defense enterprises, contrary to the neutrality declared by Belgrade, continue to supply ammunition to Kyiv. In the summer, Moscow repeated the accusations, declaring the “painfulness of this topic” for Russia and Serbia. After that, Vucic announced the suspension of all ammunition exports. It should be noted that Vucic previously also said that he is not against his country selling ammunition to intermediaries who send them to Ukraine.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
