Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on March 14 that cooperation with Israel was excellent, adding that “they sell us weapons, we sell them weapons and that will continue,” adding that Serbia would have the most modern army.

“I am not saying what I’m buying. We have systems that people do not think we have, and we will keep buying. No one will stop me, because it is my job is to protect this country. We will not attack anyone,” Vucic said in the village of Mramorac, during a visit to Smederevska Palanka, where local elections are being held.

Responding to reactions from Croatia regarding Serbia’s new missiles, he said: “Look at the tricksters that they are. They called the missiles ‘Zagrepcanka’ so they could go and complain to their teacher (NATO) that we supposedly call them that. Everything with them is lies and deception.” Saying that he understood well what was happening in the region, Vucic underlined that it was not Serbia that had raised the “alarm,” but the military alliance between Zagreb, Tirana and Pristina, adding that it had long been Croatia’s strategic goal to ensure that he did not remain the president of Serbia.

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic said on March 13 that he had written to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte regarding the Army of Serbia’s new weapons. “Such weapons have not yet been seen on European territory. I wrote to Secretary General Mark Rutte about it,” Plenkovic said in response to reporters’ questions in Zagreb on Serbia’s new weapons, i.e. hypersonic ballistic missiles.
