Statement by Minister Dačić about the Reuters story of export of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine
Minister Dačić stated that the Republic of Serbia observed internal and international legal acts and was not exporting weapons and military equipment to any country where it would enable an outbreak or continuation of armed conflicts, endanger the preservation of regional peace and security or endanger Serbia's own defence interests.
He emphasised that the Republic of Serbia was observing its policy of military neutrality and implementing the Conclusions of the National Security Council from last February.
Minister Dačić once more highlighted that, since the beginning of Russian invasion of Ukraine, Republic of Serbia had not exported weapons to either side in the conflict.
He pointed out that the Republic of Serbia issued licenses for export of weapons and military equipment only to purchasers with an End-User Certificate, which, inter alia, included a clause stating that an end user may not re-export any weapons and military equipment without the approval of the competent institutions of the Republic of Serbia.
