Belgrade/Moscow, 23 June 2021

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Nebojsa Stefanovic met today with Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoygu, at whose invitation he is attending the 9th Moscow International Security Conference.

Stefanovic said that the cooperation between Serbia and Russia in the field of defence is at a historical maximum and that military cooperation is progressing at a good pace. He added that a total of 91 joint activities is planned for this year.

Shoygu stated that Russia is interested in further developing bilateral cooperation and providing assistance in the boosting of capacity of the Serbian Army.

He recalled the common history of Russia and Serbia and our peoples, and the contribution in the fight against fascist evil in particular.

Shoygu welcomed the participation of the Serbian Army in the “International Army Games 2021“, which are not only a competition, but also a display of the top equipment and preparedness of members of military forces, and added that these joint exercises also confirm our friendly relations on the ground.

Speaking to the press after the meeting, Stefanovic said that the participation in the 9th Moscow International Security Conference is important for the delegation of Serbia because it is an opportunity to speak openly about all security issues and challenges that are present not only in Europe, but in all parts of the world.
