AP: Serbia receives another arms delivery from Russia despite sanctions on Moscow Beta 2–3 minutes _____ Serbia has received another arms delivery from its ally Russia despite international sanctions on Moscow over its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, reported the American news agency Associated Press (AP) on Wednesday. It said that Serbian populist President Aleksandar Vucic on Wednesday presented a Russian anti-drone system for electronic jamming known as Repellent. “This is the Repellent. It’s not as strong as Krasukha, but it’s excellent,” AP quoted Vucic as saying, adding that he was referring to a Russian ground-based electronic warfare system. The delivery reached Serbia a few months ago, even though the country’s airspace is almost completely surrounded by NATO member states that have agreed to Western sanctions against Russia, reported AP. The agency noted that Serbia is the only European country that has refused to align with European Union sanctions against Russia, and the only one in Europe that continues signing cooperation agreements with Moscow. Most of the recent Serbian military buildup comes from Russia. Other materials come from China as well as some European arms and aircraft manufacturers, added AP. It said that most of Vucic’s talk about potential threats has been focused on Kosovo, “a former Serbian province that declared independence after NATO intervened to stop a bloody Serbian crackdown against ethnic Albanian separatists in 1999.” “If someone tried to carry out an aggression against Serbia as it happened in 1999, technically they would not be able to carry it out in the same way. They would have to attack from outside, from a distance, from the Adriatic or Mediterranean Sea, with cruise missiles,” AP quoted Vucic as saying. -- http:www.antic.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK" group.
