Possible sale of 48 Nora B52 howitzers to Azerbaijan.
Serbian president Vucic said in September 2023 that Serbia was going to sign a defence industry contract worth at least 300 million (eur?) with Azerbaijan. He described this as “largest contract for Serbian defence industry”.
“Yes, Serbia has 61% exchange with the EU, China is growing significantly, but also Asian countries, the Emirates, Saudi Arabia... Our biggest contract will be with Azerbaijan for a dedicated industry worth 300 million, for us the EU is still the most important, but it is now Serbia's way. Will it be different? It is very possible - says the president”
This month Vucic stated that Serbia was going to sign a contract for 48 Nora B52 with a “friendly country”. Algerian twitter accounts claimed that Vucic must have meant Algeria by “friendly country” (since there were reports that Algeria was interested in Nora B52).
"Our dedicated industry will receive probably the biggest contract on Monday or Tuesday with a friendly country that is not in a current war and that is looking for 48 Nora howitzers," Vucic told Pink TV, according to Tanjug.”
However, Vucic made a new statement few days later saying that the contract worth 311 million eur was signed with this “friendly country”, and that it’s not a country located in Africa.
“Regarding the large contract for dedicated industry that he previously announced, he informed that the agreement has already been signed, but that he could not give details yet, except that it is not an African country. Certainly, the value in question is 311 million euros.”
The number voiced by Vucic certainly matches the number he said about the contract with Azerbaijan.
