Improvement of cooperation of Serbia, Greece in field of defence

Nis, 10 May 2019

Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin met today with his Greek counterpart Evangelos Apostolakis, who attended today’s military and police parade in Nis.

On this occasion, Vulin expressed his gratitude for the continued support of Greece in preserving the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Serbia in Kosovo-Metohija, which, he said, confirms the true friendship of the two countries.

For Serbia, the establishment of the so-called Kosovo Army is absolutely unacceptable and poses a threat to the entire region, he stressed, and said that KFOR is the only guarantor of security in the territory of Kosovo-Metohija, in accordance with UN SC Resolution 1244.

The ministers discussed the current defence cooperation and assessed that there is room for its improvement, and mentioned the holding of joint exercises as the most important area of cooperation.

Vulin pointed to the significance of the participation of the Serbian Army in the HELBROC combat group, where Greece is the leading nation, and within which the Army of Serbia will take active participation from next year.

According to him, in the upcoming period, joint participation in the MILEX and TALOS exercises is planned.

Apostolakis expressed the expectation that a compromise solution for the issue of the southern Serbian province will be found, and at the same time confirmed the support of his country to the territorial sovereignty and integrity of Serbia.
