On whose side is the Vučić regime in the new 'world war', is Serbia really neutral?
From Tel Aviv to Belgrade and back to Tel Aviv was the path of an Israeli cargo plane on March 5, during the conflict in the Middle East – Radio Free Europe determined by analyzing specialized flight tracking sites and published it on its portal. According to them, this plane is intended for the transport of heavy and dangerous cargo, such as weapons, but, RSE further points out in the text, it is not known what the plane was carrying, while "competent institutions remain silent".
On whose side is the Vučić regime in the new ‘world war’, is Serbia really neutral? An Israeli cargo plane’s flight path between Tel Aviv and Belgrade, coupled with a drastic increase in Serbian arms exports to Israel, suggests a discrepancy between Serbia’s declared neutrality and its actions. Experts believe President Vučić’s narrative of neutrality is for domestic consumption, while practical interests, including relations with the US, drive actual policy. This divergence risks damaging Serbia’s credibility internationally.
