Serbia wants to sell military equipment to Pakistan

Details of a potential accord would be known after a Serbian delegation visits Pakistan: Naveed Qamar

BELGRADE: Serbia wants to conclude an agreement with Pakistan that would enable the export of its military equipment to the country, Defence Minister Aleksandar Vucic said Monday.

"What we can offer and what they are interested in are armoured vehicles, large calibre ammunition, assault rifles and night-vision equipment," Vucic said after the meeting with Defence Minister Naveed Qamar.

Qamar said the details of a potential accord would be known after a Serbian delegation visits Pakistan, planned in the coming months.

For several years, Serbia has been trying to increase its military industry's exports, notably of ammunition, rifles, explosives and small planes.

According to the latest official data, these exports have increased in value to $247 million from $75 million some five years ago.
