US Attack on Iran

International Reactions


As he said, we changed the doctrine of the army.

- According to that doctrine, our army must be incomparably stronger. In the past year, we have done a lot to modernize and advance our army. Today, we have a situation in a world where law and justice have long since ceased to exist, and there are no longer any rules. We have to accept and understand that - said Aleksandar Vučić.

"Being a member of the UN means nothing anymore"

He added that it is "very difficult to understand and accept".

- But we have to understand it. Therefore, the fact that you are a member country of the United Nations, the fact that you are guaranteed territorial integrity by the will of the United Nations, no longer means anything, thanks to the behavior of the great powers, which brutally trample on it when necessary and when they think of it. At the same time, inventing some new principles that don't exist, we have to get used to that too. In accordance with that, to raise the level of our defense capabilities, and everything we do, we do for the sake of the citizens of Serbia - stated Vučić.

He said that it is not a question of what some Swiss experts call a"vanity state which is stronger and which is not".

- It is already a question of the highest interests of the citizens of Serbia to be protected, to be safe and to be safe. Accordingly, we have analyzed several things. For the first time I have some good news, some good news as far as humanity is concerned. And I am infinitely happy about it. For the first time, we have a greater response than we had hoped for for different units - said Vučić.

"There is no doubt whether the US violated public international law"

He then referred to the war between Israel and Iran and our attitude towards those countries.

- Both nations are friendly to us. We want peace and I don't understand why things were not resolved through diplomacy. Let me be specific, since a person must be fair both to himself and to the state. We want the closest relations with the United States, a strategic partnership. We are a small country. But whether they violated public international law, there is no doubt - said Vučić.

He added that we"also talked about it when some others were involved".

- No rights, no justice. And more importantly, there are no rules in today's world. Two, to answer your question. Now how are you all from the West going to tell the Russians or anyone else about violating someone's territorial integrity? When you all broke it. You violated it on the example of Serbia and FRY. But many have forgotten, it was a long time ago, 26 years ago. And now this happened. What are those principles? What are the rules on the basis of which peace will ever be concluded in the world? And why are we saying this? Well, because we are sinking into complete chaos. The whole world. Today, oil is 25% more expensive than it was ten days ago. We hold on to the pumps forcefully so that they do not explode. 78.4. opened by Brent Utros. It was 64. And it's not a question of the price of oil. Gas went to heaven. The price of gas is not an issue either - said Vučić.

He added that"soon we will have almost full occupancy, so over 85% occupancy of all our special units, which I don't think we had."

- We haven't, never. That's a big deal. Until ten days ago, we received applications for this competition, which people made an effort and prepared it well in the media. And they pay huge, huge salaries. All income total, huge. But it didn't work at all. Until ten days ago, 300 people registered with us. I was pulling my hair out and suddenly people were waiting for the last ten days of the contest and now we have 868 applicants - said Vučić.

"Parade of the Serbian Army on September 19 or 20"

Vučić announced that on September 19 or 20, a parade of the Serbian Army will be organized where citizens will be able to see what is new in our army, what has been bought, made, produced.

According to him, it will be the biggest parade ever, where there will be at least 10,000 soldiers, and he pointed out that many countries are not able to bring out such a large number of soldiers.

- I asked, since we were able to analyze everything, what is it that we have today, what is it that we bought, and you will find out and you will see in the next two months what it is that we bought, took, made, produced, whether today, bearing in mind the progress of technology, if the country was attacked by a stronger aggressor, we would be able to offer an incomparably stronger resistance - said Vučić.

As he said, the answer of those who know it best was that"our resistance would be disproportionately greater or significantly, significantly greater than it was in 1999".

- And the answer of some of them was even to be an absolute deterrent even for the strongest aggressor that can be - said Vučić.

"First, Serbia will carefully watch the parade in Croatia"

According to him, first Serbia will carefully watch the parade in Croatia.

- It didn't start from us, on the 30th anniversary of the crime committed against the Serbian people in Krajina, Croatia is organizing a big parade, the most powerful in the region so far. That parade, as far as I understand, will show all the strength and power of Croatian weapons and tools, which are huge. It is a fantastically strong army, an extremely strong army. A regional force in many respects, a regional force in many segments, extremely well organized, well staffed in all segments except for manpower, but that's why they go for regular military service -, said Vučić.

The President pointed out that it will be seen on August 5 what this extraordinary power will show. As he says, it is up to Serbia to see what all the Croatian army has.

- And then, we scheduled it much earlier, it seems to me even before them, as part of the celebration of the Day of Serbian Unity and the Serbian National Flag, it is the 15th, but because of the date, that is, because of the day that is the 15th, this will be the 19th or the 20th, the army needs to make a decision. You will then see what the Serbian Army has at its disposal and I am convinced that you will not be ashamed of the progress of your army, the progress of your country - said Vučić.

Vučić states that the Serbian Army is serious, and that there is still a lot of work and progress to be made.

"We sell ammunition, of which 24,000 people live directly with us, with the families of around 150,000 people"

He also answered the question why Serbia exports ammunition to Israel and said that after the start of the war in Iran, everything was stopped.

- We sell ammunition, of which 24,000 live directly, and 50,000 indirectly. So, with families somewhere around 150,000 people in this country. I will not leave 150,000 people without bread. On the contrary, my job as president was to open markets for them. I have opened almost all Asian markets to them. The American market - stated Vučić.

As he said, we have been exporting for fifteen years.

- The first partisan exports the best ammunition to the United States of America. Should we export to European Union countries? So where should we export if not to European Union countries? Well, they say, don't go to Africa. So where should we export? I can't go to Asia, I can't go to Africa, I can't go to Europe, I can't go to America. Where do you want us to export ammunition to Antarctica? Where? To whom - said Vucic.

"Serbia does not export any ammunition now"

He added that after Israel's attack on Iran, Serbia"now does not export any ammunition".

- Now we have stopped everything. They have to be special decisions if anything is going to work. Ammunition goes to our barracks and our stocks - said VUCIĆ.

With the singing of the Serbian national anthem and in the presence of the Minister of Defense Bratislava Gašić and the Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, General Milan Mojsilović with the honor of the Serbian Armed Forces, Vučić came this morning to the Banjica 2 barracks in Belgrade.
