According to the leader of the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP), Dragan Djilas, Serbia’s President, Aleksandar Vucic, is doing everything he can to "iron out" the issue of the country’s Security Intelligence Agency being blacklisted by the United States. Pročitaj više

Djilas argued that the fact that the United States exported arms worth 138 billion dollars while Serbia exported arms worth 449 million dollars in 2021 “shows how absurd Aleksandar Vucic’s claim that America imposed sanctions on Vulin because we are competitors in the sale of arms is”. He noted that Serbia’s arms exports are worth only some 0.3% of US arms exports.

He said that the ruling party, SNS, has no idea what to do at this point regarding the matter.

„The fact that the day after Vucic’s statement, the Minister of Defense and Acting President of SNS, Milos Vucevic, informed the public that a decision had been made to introduce an embargo on the export of arms from Serbia is shown by how much more the top authorities do not know what they are doing!? By the way, according to the most relevant data source for arms trade, the Swedish SIPRI, Serbia is not among the 25 largest arms exporters in the world in the period between 2018 and 2022. America is in first place with a 40%, and Jordan is in 25th place with 0.2% in world arms exports,“ he said.

Djilas said that Serbia is ranked 37th in regards to global arms exports.

„According to this report, we import the most from China (43%), Russia (31%) and Belarus (20%). All these data clearly show that instead of investing in economic growth, education, and healthcare, Serbia spends money on armaments. And Serbia does not defend itself with weapons but with education, changing the government that does not understand this and changing the system, so that people like Aleksandar Vulin would never again be in a position to decide on our lives,“ he concluded.
