“The European Parliament reiterates that the Western Balkans, in the current geopolitical context, is of strategic importance for the security and stability of the EU as a whole.

“Strongly condemns the recent purchase of Chinese air-to-ground ballistic missiles CM-400AKG, warning that such weaponry undermines the regional security balance and good neighborly relations with NATO member countries. Such a purchase contradicts the EU’s common foreign and security policy and raises serious questions about Serbia’s geopolitical orientation”. the resolution states.<\/p>\n
The European Parliament also condemns the fact that Serbia has become a base for the activities of Russian intelligence services in Europe and expresses great concern over credible reports that it has become an important operational center for Russia’s hybrid and destabilizing activities, including organizing provocations, inciting ethnic and religious tensions in EU member states, as well as training and sending individuals for destabilizing actions in Europe and in the regions. neighbors.<\/p>\n
