Previously, Vučić suggested that the European Union buy any volumes of ammunition from him.
Serbian Prime Minister Đuro Mačut held an official meeting with the new Ukrainian ambassador to Belgrade, Alexander Litvinenko, the Serbian government press service reported.
During the conversation, the head of government emphasized the importance of developing cooperation between the two countries and noted that there is potential for expanding interaction in various areas of mutual interest. According to him, Belgrade is "carefully monitoring the events in Ukraine, primarily the consequences of the severe humanitarian situation for the civilian population."
"Serbia will continue to provide humanitarian aid to the affected population, in accordance with its capabilities - in the form of financial resources, medical and energy equipment," Mačut emphasized.
Ambassador Litvinenko, for his part, congratulated the Prime Minister on the recent Statehood Day of Serbia and expressed confidence in the successful execution of his mandate, as well as gratitude to Serbia for the support already provided to the Ukrainian people.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić previously stated that he proposed to the European Union to sign a contract for the supply of ammunition, the production of which in the country is actively growing. The head of state mentioned this in an interview with the German magazine Cicero.
"Our warehouses are full of ammunition, especially mortar shells. We produce more than France. I suggested to our friends in the EU to buy everything we have - it would be a phenomenal contribution to European security," Vučić said.
In response to a question about whether this ammunition could subsequently be supplied to Ukraine, the Serbian leader noted that "buyers can do whatever they want with it."
Speaking about relations with Russia, the President of Serbia stated that "we treat all parties very fairly." "Just ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky which of the Balkan countries has provided Ukraine with the most financial and humanitarian assistance. The answer may surprise you," he added.
