Unfortunately, Tirana is also on the same page as Belgrade, “neck-to-toe” with the Zionist state.

At the request of the Serbian government, the Committee for Defense and Internal Affairs of the Serbian Parliament supported the agreement by a majority vote yesterday, April 29, allowing its temporary implementation before it is officially approved by the National Assembly. The urgency of the implementation, as stated, stems from the expected shipment of military equipment from Israel, intended to equip the Serbian Army.

“The earliest possible start of the implementation of the proposed agreement would enable the signing and entry into force of the contract as soon as possible regarding the provision of weapons and military equipment and the improvement of the operational capabilities of the Serbian Army,” reads the document obtained by BIRN.

Procurement of expected to be most likely linked to the Israeli arms manufacturing company Elbit Systems. Early last year, Elbit Systems sold Serbia advanced artillery systems and drones worth $335 million. In August 2025, another contract worth $1.6 billion was signed to supply Belgrade with drones, long-range missiles, electronic warfare systems and other military equipment. BIRN also reported in May that Serbia planned to produce drones on its territory together with Elbit, which Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic later confirmed.

In parallel, Serbian arms exports to Israel have already increased 42-fold since 2023, reaching 114 million euros last year, despite accusations that Israel committed genocide in Gaza and calls from United Nations human rights experts to stop arms shipments to the country.

Bogdan Radovanovic, a member of parliament from the opposition Green-Left Front (ZLF), who voted against the deal at the Security Committee meeting, told BIRN that no representative of the Ministry of Defense gave a detailed explanation of why this was urgent or if it was related to various agreements with the Elbit Systems company.

“I was not even informed about the dilemmas of what it says exactly ‘mutual protection’ and whether, for example, the Mossad will now have the authority to ‘mutually protect’ shared secret data on our territory,” said Bogdanovic, who stressed that he opposes agreements with a country he believes is committing genocide in Gaza.

The initiative for the agreement came from Israel, after which two video conferences were held during which the details of the agreement were agreed upon, according to an explanation given to members of the parliamentary committee. The agreement, obtained by BIRN, says that in Serbia the Ministry of Defense will be responsible for its implementation, while in Israel it is the Defense Systems Security Directorate (DSDE), better known as Malmab, a body within the Israeli Ministry of Defense that also acts in an intelligence capacity, as it is engaged in obtaining technological information and intelligence data abroad.

Both countries agreed that any dispute would not be made public and that any disputes or disputes “shall not be subject to any national or international court or tribunal, nor any law”: “Each party undertakes to refrain from any public publication regarding the areas of cooperation and mutual activities under this agreement, unless the other party approves in writing.”

The agreement also stipulates that both countries have the right to send delegations of security experts to visit the territory of the other party from time to time “when appropriate for both parties”. The agreement covers any transfer or exchange of classified information related to joint ventures, contracts, as well as “the sale of defense equipment, or military know-how or dual-use goods, software or technology”. regardless of their status. Disclosure of classified information to a “third party”, i.e. a government official, contractor, employee of a contractor or any “international organization”, is prohibited.

In the event of a “security breach” or suspicion of one, the state in which it occurred must notify the other, initiate an investigation, communicate the results of the investigation and details of the “corrective measures taken” to ensure that it does not happen again. /tesheshi
