Improving defence cooperation with Spain

Belgrade/Madrid, 11 May 2021

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Nebojsa Stefanovic met in Madrid today with Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Spain Margarita Robles.

Recalling the extremely close relations of Serbia and Spain, Stefanovic said that he spoke with Minister Robles about the development of cooperation in the field of defence, so that it becomes a reflection of relations between our two countries.

We want the cooperation of our two ministries to be more intensive and to follow the quality of cooperation of our countries in the field of the economy and the strategic issues, in which Spain supports Serbia, first and foremost on the issue of Kosovo and Metohija, Stefanovic said.

Pointing to the importance of mutual support in protecting the sovereignty and the principles of international law, Robles reiterated the principled position of the Kingdom of Spain regarding the non-recognition of the so-called Kosovo.

She also highlighted the importance of the joint engagement in the UN multinational operation in Lebanon, which is of great importance for the Spanish side.

Speaking about the possibilities for improving cooperation in the field of defence, the Spanish Defence Minister conveyed the committent to continuing joint engagement in multinational operations, as well as to intensifying military-military and military-economic cooperation.
