The "Student List" movement, which won Serbia's recent elections, intends to cease arms trading with Israel and halt a joint drone production project within the country. Filip Ubović, a prominent figure in the movement, stated in an interview with British journalist Aaron Bastani on the Novara Media podcast that their platform calls for ending arms sales to Israel, citing the situation in Gaza as a "stain on humanity's conscience."
Ubović also criticized the close ties of former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić with Israel, deeming the establishment of a drone manufacturing plant in Serbia with an Israeli company unacceptable. He urged the termination of this project, which was inaugurated by Vučić in September in collaboration with an Israeli defense firm.
These statements come as Serbia anticipates political shifts following the "Student List's" victory in the snap parliamentary elections held on October 25. The movement's recently unveiled foreign policy agenda also condemns Israel's military actions in Gaza and proposes increased humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
As of now, the new Serbian government has not been officially formed, and no official decisions regarding the suspension of arms trade with Israel or the cessation of the drone production plant's operations have been announced.
