Vucevic: Serbia has not sold and will not sell weapons to Ukraine

Minister of Defense Milos Vucevic has denied the alleged findings of the Reuters agency today that Serbia sold or intends to sell weapons to Ukraine, pointing out that "Serbia has not sold, nor will it sell, weapons to the Ukrainian or Russian side, nor to the countries surrounding that conflict," RTV reports.

"Someone's goal is obviously to destabilize our country and drag it into a conflict in which we will not participate. We consistently stick to our established policy," Vucevic told Tanjug.

The minister noted that the lie that Serbia sold weapons to Ukraine had been published for the umpteenth time.

"We have denied those falsehoods more than ten times, and here we are, we will do it again. Serbia has not sold, nor will it sell, weapons to the Ukrainian or Russian side, nor to the countries surrounding that conflict," Vucevic said.

The minister has also stated that Serbia, of course, sells weapons to third parties, which are far from the conflict and have nothing to do with it.

"There is always the possibility that some weapon will somehow mysteriously be found on the territory of the conflict, but that has absolutely nothing to do with Serbia. It is a question for those countries that do not respect international norms, contractual clauses, and business practices. I repeat, Serbia has not sent weapons to Ukraine, and everything published on that topic are untrue speculations," Vucevic said.

This morning, Reuters published a text citing confidential documents from the Pentagon that Serbia, the only European country that has refused to impose sanctions on Russia over the war in Ukraine, has agreed to supply Kyiv with weapons or has already sent weapons.
