Serbia, UK sign arrangement on improving defence cooperation

Belgrade, 16 June 2021

Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia and UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace signed today the Arrangement on Improving Cooperation in the Field of Defence.

In a joint address to the press with Wallace, Stefanovic reminded that this is the first official visit of UK Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace to our country ever and that it is the crown of the cooperation so far.

Wallace said that the interest of Great Britain is a strong Serbia with which the country will cooperate in the Balkans, while it is important for Serbia to cooperate with Great Britain, because they share common values and defence interests, and cooperate in ensuring peace and security around the world.

Serbia has a bright future ahead of it and that is why it is important to build a good friendship on the basis of our cooperation, he pointed out and expressed his belief that there is a lot in Serbia that can be done together in the field of defence.

According to him, today is an important day for cooperation between the two countries, also because 69 British soldiers are participating in the "Platinum Wolf" military exercise in Serbia.

Stefanovic and Wallace held a tete-a-tete meeting earlier today, at which it was assessed that today's meeting is of exceptional importance for the further development of bilateral relations in the field of defence, as well as for the improvement of the overall relations between the two countries.
