Serbia complains about Romania blocking military transport from Russia

Romania has blocked a transport of military vehicles, namely tanks and
armored vehicles, from Russia to Serbia, a Belgrade official reported,
accusing Romania of violating the Convention on the Navigation on the
Danube.

Romania has prevented a transport of 30 T-72B3 tanks and 30 BRDM-2 armored
vehicles from Russia to Serbia on the Danube, balkanist.ru wrote citing RIA
agency "Novi Deni," local Adevarul
<https://adevarul.ro/international/europa/serbia-acuza-romania-blocat-transp
ort-armament-dunare-1_5d398e4e892c0bb0c6d44ace/index.html>  reported. 

The information was confirmed by Miroslav Lazanki, a well-known military
journalist from Belgrade and a member of the Serbian Parliament. In
Belgrade, this decision is interpreted as a violation of the Convention on
the Navigation of the Danube, balkanist.ru read.

Earlier in 2017, Romania and Bulgaria banned the transit of MIG fighters
given by Russia to Serbia, under the provisions of NATO Treaty. Russia had,
at that time, to break down into pieces the jet fighters and reassemble them
in Serbia.

Serbia is a traditional ally of Russia, and Moscow wants to expand its
influence in the Balkans to counter the expansion of the North Atlantic
Alliance. Serbia has signaled that it wants integration into the European
Union but has not declared its willingness to join NATO.
