Belgrade: Dramatic armament in neighbourhood

Ministarstvo odbrane

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday his country “is in complicated surroundings and complex political situation,” and that was a reason “why the Army of Serbia (VS) is necessary as a guarantor of peace and stability and deterrence from attacks on our country.”

“There is a lot to be done, bearing in mind that everyone in our surroundings is arming dramatically. We must always have enough power to protect and preserve our country, and the Army of Serbia will be able to do that,” Vucic said after meeting Defence Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic and the VS chief-of-staff general Milan Mojsilovic.

Vucic specified that “a lot has to be done especially for the so-called night fight conditions, procurement of additional optoelectronic means, modern arms and weapons for air defence, Air Force, but also for further strengthening of our infantry units.”
