That the arming of Serbia is one of Russia’s goals is shown by the recent meeting of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation Aleksandar Bocan-Harchenko with the head of the Serbian army Nebojsa Stefanovic.
According to the announcement of the Serbian Ministry of Defense, this meeting was held with the justification of military cooperation between the countries.
This is not an ordinary meeting, as so far the Russian ambassador has been involved in Serbia’s internal affairs.
After establishing reciprocity with license plates, during the blockade in northern Kosovo in September 2021, Bocan-Harchenko together with Stefanovic had visited the Serbian military troops located in Rudnica.
This Bocan-Harchenko visit had alarmed many officials from Kosovo and the region.
