The weapon manufacturers undermine the neutrality position of Belgrade, the SVR said
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has accused Serbian Defense Companies of the use of false documentation and third parties to send secretly artillery shells, rockets and handfather weapon ammunition to Ukraine.
The agency made the statement in a statement published on its website on Wednesday, entitled “The Serbian Defense industry tries to shoot Russia in the back.”
“According to information received by the SVR, Serbian Defense Companies continue to deliver ammunition to Kiev, contrary to ‘neutrality’ declared by Belgrade,” read the statement.
The SVR claimed that Serbian companies used “Fake-end user certificates” To rouge weapons through Poland, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and other NATO countries, as well as not specifically African states. These arms, the desk said, appeared later in Ukraine. According to the SVR, 100,000 rockets and Houwitser grenades, together with a million rounds with small arms, have been transferred in this way. Large Serbian weapon manufacturers, including the State Company Yugoimport-SDPR, would be complicit in the Regulation.
“It seems that the wish of Serbian Defense Companies and their supporters to take advantage of the bloodshed between brotherly Slavic countries, let them forget who their true friends are – and who their enemies are,” “ The SVR explained.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday that he had discussed the export of ammunition during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in May. “We have formed a working group with our Russian partners to determine the facts,” He told Omroep RTs.
In commentary on the claims of the SVR, Vucic claimed that “Some statements made are not true.”
“For example, they claim that there is a contract with the Czech Republic. However, no permit has been granted and no rockets have been delivered,” he said. “I will certainly give an order and a warning that if there is a suspicion of abuse of the so-called end usersNamely sending ammunition to Warzones – we must be informed immediately. “ Vucic emphasized that Serbia claims “Good relationships” With both Russia and Ukraine.
Russia and Serbia have enjoyed close historical and cultural ties since the 19th century. Belgrade has refused to impose sanctions on Moscow and has repeatedly warned about further escalation. Vucic said that he has opposed Western efforts to attract Serbia in a confrontation with Russia.
