On July 15 Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that Serbia "is in a very complex environment and complex political situation" and that "this is precisely why the Serbian army is needed as a guarantor of peace and stability and for detering attacks on our country."
"We have many more things to do considering the fact that everyone in our surroundings is dramatically arming themselves. It is our obligation to, at all times, have enough strength, enough power to protect our country and preserve it and the Serbian army will be capable of doing so at every moment," Vucic said after meeting with Defense Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic and chief of staff Gen. Milan Mojsilovic, the Ministry of Defense.
He stressed that he discussed strengthening cooperation with domestic armament factories with the general and Minister Stefanovic and that the Ministry of Defense "will hold additional and special talks."
In another statement, Vucic said that the country's political position in terms of regional stability was difficult and uncertain. He said that everyone in the region was arming themselves and that the Albanians had bought new weapons, as well as Kosovo.
