Serbia and France have signed an agreement on French exports of the Rafale fighter jet, with an estimated value of around 30 billion kronor.

The deal was formally concluded during French President Emmanuel Macron's state visit to Belgrade. The sale of the twelve fighter jets from Dassault follows lengthy negotiations. The planes are to be delivered by 2029.

The announcement from Belgrade is seen as an opening for closer contacts between Serbia and the EU. Vucic and Serbia have long maintained an open stance towards Moscow – even after the invasion of Ukraine.

Furthermore, Serbia has previously turned to Russia for, among other things, purchases of fighter jets, which has resulted in close military contacts between Belgrade and Moscow. This is partially broken with the purchase of French Rafale jets.
