Macedonia: Serbia's Armatta Risk to Balkan Stability

Kosovo Defence Minister Ejup Macedonia has spoken about Serbia's arming, saying it is not a new phenomenon, but a process that has started for years.

Macedonia for Euronews Albania has said Serbia has implemented direct arms purchases from countries like Russia, China and Iran, and continues to strengthen its military arsenal.

“Serbia's arming is not something that has begun now, it has been making direct purchases from Russia, China, Iran and other countries for years, and is continuing to do so. All of this represents an asset to be used in relation to the hegemony that continues to present with other Western Balkan countries. This comes after disarming that has occurred as a result of the Balkan warsHe said.

Minister Macedonia has said Serbia is exploiting the defence industry for economic benefits.

Serbia is known to have inherited the former Yugoslavia's weapons systems. These systems were old to use. Serbia is exploiting the defence industry for economic gain, continues to sell weapons in third countries as well. This is making a dangerous force for the Balkans, but it is also helping it for economic gain. ” He said.
