Serbia to Open Joint Israeli Drone Factory Next Month with Ukrainian Guests Invited
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced that a joint drone manufacturing plant with Israel is scheduled to open around September 15 to 20. The announcement came during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday. Vučić confirmed that Ukrainian representatives will be invited to the opening ceremony, acknowledging Ukraine's own experience and facilities in drone production.
The project itself was first revealed in April, but Vučić provided a concrete timeline for the factory's launch this time. When asked about possible military cooperation between Serbia and Ukraine during his meeting with Zelensky, Vučić clarified that no such cooperation is currently planned. He stated, "We did not discuss any military cooperation today, not at this time. What will happen after the war ends is another matter."
This development highlights ongoing defense collaboration between Serbia and Israel, while maintaining a cautious stance on Serbia's military relations with Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict there.
