The French ambassador, Oliver Guerot, has said that France has equipped Serbia with “Rafale” fighter planes, due to the fact that it wants it to shrink from the dependence of military equipment on Russia.
“It is a potential agreement, to my knowledge it is not an official agreement. We have been discussing defense with Serbia for years, we have sold similar planes to Croatia as well. However, the issue of these discussions with Serbia is to reduce their dependence on military equipment from Russia, that is, to align them with Europe”, said Guerot, in Klan Kosova.
“I believe that with the equipment comes a lot of contacts and there is a kind of leverage, as I said, to anchor Serbia by reducing its dependence on Russia.”
“We also have security threats in France like you here.”
