BELGRADE, February 20. /TASS/. The rise in arms procurement globally indicates that countries are going to be at war for the next twenty years, President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic told reporters on the sidelines of the IDEX 2023 defense exhibition in the UAE.

"Everybody wants to buy grenades, mines, missiles, bombs - everything that contains explosives, warheads; everyone is ready to buy for twenty years going forward. Everyone plans to fight for the next twenty years. Everybody plans to fight, everybody is preparing for war," the President said.

"It is impossible now to get spare parts. It is impossible to import anything or almost anything from Russia - nothing of military importance. The question is also what can be imported from China. That’s why we should focus on ourselves and on our industry," Vucic added.
