The President of Serbia has admitted that the Serbian side is not able to control the re-export of its weapons to third countries.

In an interview with the Serbian TV channel Happy, Aleksandar Vučić said that the sale of ammunition produced in Serbia allowed to feed the country’s people.

Vučić stated that the country’s authorities and companies did not supply weapons to Ukraine or Russia.

He noted that manufactured ammunition often ended up in conflict zones, despite the ban of the producing country.

“This is a batch of [Serbian] ammunition that ended up in Turkey. No matter what ammunition you export, they will end up in Syria, Mali, somewhere where there is a war,” Vučić said.

The President of Serbia emphasized that the profit from the sale of weapons and ammunition was very important for his country, despite the fact that the weapons might land in third countries.

“We have to feed people, our economy has to prosper. We produce weapons, not heels for shoes, so what should we do now?” Vučić said, stressing that Serbia had not broken the law by selling weapons.

At the beginning of the month it became known that the Ukrainian Defense Forces used new Serbian ER Grad 2000 122mm rockets. They significantly exceed the capabilities of other same types rockets in the arsenal of the Ukrainian army.

Already on March 5, Vučić called the report about the sale of weapons by Belgrade to Kyiv “an outright lie” and noted that Serbia did not supply military products to Ukraine or Russia.

The Ministry of Defense of Serbia previously stated that the country did not supply ammunition directly to Ukraine.

The statement reads that the ammunition was purchased from the Serbian Krušik enterprise by the Canadian JNJ Export & Import company.

Containers with ammunition were transported from Serbia to Turkey by Arca Savunma Sanayi Ticaret. From Turkey the missiles were delivered to Ukraine through Slovakia.
