On the other hand, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced a massive arms procurement and the robotization of the Serbian military. A meeting of the highest leadership of Republika Srpska and Serbia with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Army was held today at the "Banjica 2" barracks in Belgrade. The delegation from RS was led by Milorad Dodik and the member of the BiH Presidency Željka Cvijanović, and also attended by the President of the RS National Assembly Nenad Stevandić, entity Prime Minister Savo Minić, as well as Siniša Karan, Željko Budimir, and police director Siniša Kostrešević. On the Belgrade side, alongside Vučić, the hosts were Defense Minister Bratislav Gašić and Chief of the General Staff, General Milan Mojsilović. Dodik: The Serbian Army is a deterrent factor After a presentation on the state of Serbia's defense capacities, Dodik emphasized that the RS leadership shares the policy of military neutrality with Serbia and expressed concern about the security situation in the region. He conveyed that in Republika Srpska they are "very concerned about the fact that Croatia, Albania, and so-called Kosovo have formed a certain alliance," and that the "Croatian component in BiH" is oriented towards it. "We believe that this is an alliance against the Serbian people as a whole, that it is a targeted alliance and that Republika Srpska is essentially threatened by such an alliance. Considering that we assess that the Croatian component in Bosnia and Herzegovina is certainly oriented towards such directions, and of course it can also be guaranteed that this is the Bosniak component as well. So that alliance absolutely must be under the attention of all of us in Republika Srpska, and of course here in Serbia as well," said Dodik. He added that he thinks "this is not a message that someone wants to send for stability in the Balkans." "That alliance is disruptive in terms of security, of an entire region. It sends certain messages, it sends the need for us here to secure ourselves. In Republika Srpska, we carefully monitor that situation and think that there are indeed worrying elements. Therefore, considering that they are expanding their scope, their plans, their capabilities, the scope of everything they do, and of course much of what they hide in order to ensure their readiness for their certain actions. No such alliance is formed without a strong goal. The only goal is, of course, threatening the stability of the Serbian people and their states," conveyed Dodik. Vučić announces drones and signing of new contracts Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated that the security situation today is "more complex than in January," precisely because, as he noted, of the actions of the military alliance of Priština, Tirana, and Zagreb. In response to this, as supreme commander, he proposed adopting a robotization strategy and forming new units. In response to this, Vučić, as supreme commander, proposed the development and adoption of a robotization strategy and the formation of a battalion-level unit equipped with robotic platforms. Additionally, he announced organizational preparations for forming squadrons and battalions of long-range attack drones and so-called "loitering munitions," with an expectation of a real explosion in domestic drone production this year. "In the coming days, we will sign large and very important contracts for further procurement of weapons and military equipment. The state of personnel and lethal means is significantly better than in January. We will focus on the robotization and digitalization of our army, which will make us one of the armies with the greatest capabilities in the region and beyond," emphasized Vučić. At the end of his address, Vučić announced that in the next ten days, he will again invite the leadership of Republika Srpska on an official visit to Serbia, in order to, as he said, "show them the greatest possible respect."
