Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić expressed concerns over what he described as a potential military alliance between Croatia, Albania, and Kosovo, emphasizing that Serbia is preparing to defend itself.
“I lead a small country. I am not Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin – leaders who can make decisions with ease. For me, nothing is simple,” Vučić said. “Of course I am concerned. My priority is to preserve the stability of our country and ensure a peaceful legacy. It is my duty to protect the life of every citizen.”
Vučić spoke publicly for the first time about Serbia’s military capabilities, hinting at undisclosed Chinese missile systems. He also commented on Croatia’s statements about military alliances and equipment. “Croatia has spent the past year attempting to undermine Serbia. We’ve heard claims about weapon acquisitions and military strength. While we remain silent publicly, we are prepared. We possess capabilities we do not reveal,” Vučić said.
He stressed that Serbia’s actions are defensive. “We are preparing in case of a potential attack. They are waiting for a moment when larger conflicts erupt in Europe or the Middle East. Everything we do is to protect our country. We cannot attack NATO countries, including Albania and Croatia, but they are forming alliances with intentions we cannot ignore.”
Vučić reassured Serbian citizens about the country’s strength: “Serbia has sufficient deterrent power. Citizens can sleep peacefully knowing that Serbia is capable of defending its territorial integrity, sovereignty, and the safety of its people. Any potential aggression would be met with a decisive response,” he concluded.
