Serbia and Greece vow to boost military ties

·

Greece and Serbia have agreed to strengthen their bilateral relations to ensure stability and security in the broader region. These key issues centred on defence cooperation were discussed in Belgrade between Greek National Defence Minister Nikos Dendias and his Serbian counterpart, Bratislav Gašić.

Dendias, who was on an official visit to Serbia on Tuesday, November 5, was welcomed by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. During their meeting, the two leaders discussed expanding ties between the two nations, with a particular emphasis on defence cooperation. Dendias also expressed his gratitude to Vučić for the support Serbia provided during Greece’s firefighting efforts last summer.

“Greece supports lasting peace and security through good neighbourly relations, respect by all parties of rules-based international order and of the basic principles of international law,” Dendias remarked, outlining Greece’s approach to the Western Balkans.

On the issue of Kosovo, Dendias reiterated Greece’s consistent stance. “Progress in dialogue is the only way to ensure stability and prosperity in the region,” he stated, emphasising the importance of dialogue for achieving long-term peace.

The Greek minister also pointed to significant potential for collaboration between Greece and Serbia in the defence sector. “We want to bring our defence ecosystems together,” Dendias said, referencing the new Hellenic Centre for Defence Innovation as a key platform for this cooperation.
