"Serbia has a long and close relationship with the Burmese military. Is Serbia still arming the Burmese military? Since the Burmese military attempted to grab power through a coup on February 1st 2021 there have been unconfirmed rumours and reports of military contacts and Serbia supplying arms or equipment to the Burmese military. These reports have been given more credence by the fact that Serbia has had a close relationship with the Burmese military for decades, signed a defence co-operation agreement in 2015, and continued to supply arms and publicly discuss increased defence co-operation as recently as 2019. In June 2021 Serbia backed a UN General Assembly Resolution calling for the flow of arms to the military to be stopped, but also has a long track record of failing to bring its foreign policy into line with the EU as part of its EU membership process, including continuing to sell arms to the Burmese military despite an EU arms embargo. In August 2021 Burma Campaign UK wrote to the Serbian Embassy in the UK asking for clarification of Serbia’s current policy. We did not receive a response. Serbia must now clarify its policy. It must publicly state that it does now have an arms embargo in place, does not supply military equipment, technology or parts, and that it has ended defence co-operation with the Burmese military. Historically close relations The Serbian government boasts on its website that: “Since the first contacts in the 1950s, the two countries have had very close military and economic co-operation.”1..."
