Serbia Halts Arms Sales to Israel After its Attacks on Iran
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said at a press conference in Belgrade on Monday, June 24, that it had stopped exporting arms to Israel after the latter started attacking Iran. After Israel launched its attack, Operation Rising Lion, on Iran on June 13, Serbia stopped exporting arms to the country, which it had continued since October 7, 2023. The Serbian president explained that his country exported ammunition to Israel, not weapons, and 24,000 people made their living from these exports. Serbia exported 42.3 million euros of arms and ammunition to Israel in 2024, according to a BIRN investigation. Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that the country's leadership warned that any country providing Israel with military equipment of any kind would be 'deemed complicit in the act of aggression against Iran and turn into a legitimate target'. Serbia also exports arms and ammunition to Ukraine, which has become a problem with Russia because their Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR, said, "It seems that the desire of Serbian arms manufacturers and their patrons to profit from the blood of fraternal Slavic peoples has made them completely forget who their true friends are and who their enemies are.'
