MOSCOW, June 26. /TASS/. Serbian Prime Minister Duro Macut in an interview with TASS, his first with a foreign media outlet, has vowed that there will be no weapons supplied to Ukraine by Belgrade while he remains a member of Serbia’s National Security Council.
On June 23, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said that Serbia is using alternative routes to export its military products to Ukraine. Macut replied to a question as to what kind of measures Belgrade was taking following the publication of the statement about such supplies.
"As you know, at the suggestion of President Vucic, a decision was made, according to which any exports of arms and military hardware produced at Serbian plants will be sent out only with the approval of relevant ministries, agencies, and the National Security Council. The National Security Council is a body analogous to your Security Council of the Russian Federation. And I must emphasize that while I remain a member of this council, I will not support any arms sales to Ukraine," the Serbian premier assured.
He noted that Serbia and Russia are, above all, "two countries linked by centuries-old friendship and strategic partnership, while the Serbs and Russians are fraternal nations whom no one can break apart."
