The goal of the visit is to look into the following steps to be taken for the establishment of the Intergovernmental Committee for Military Technical Cooperation, after signing the Agreement on Military Technical Cooperation. Visit by a High Level Delegation of the Belarusian State Military Industrial Committee Some a bit older (last month or so) news about Serbian defence industry, i didn't already posted here: He added that the Yugoimport management had promised a stable future for Utva employees, with on-time payment of currently modest salaries that would gradually be increased as future sales revenues allowed. However, this did not solve Utva's long-term insolvency problems, which regularly caused delays in payment of salaries and health insurance obligations for its 240 employees and resulted in numerous interruptions to production that occasionally escalated into general strikes.Ĭommenting on the integration of Utva into the structure of Yugoimport, the president of Utva's workers' union, Slobodan Kosic, revealed that by the end of 2017 the new owner will have invested RSD300-500 million (USD2.6-4.3 million) in modernising the existing factory to improve its production capabilities. The transfer of Utva's ownership is the logical follow-on to the previous government-arranged partnership between Yugoimport and Utva, under which the aircraft producer was put under the temporary management of Yugoimport, which facilitated access to its worldwide sales and marketing network and gave Utva a presence on the global aviation market. The process of integrating Utva into the structure of the Belgrade-based arms dealer was initiated on 9 February and completed on 28 February, when Yugoimport established effective control of 95.962% of Utva stakes previously owned by the Serbian government. Yugoimport SDPR, the Serbian state-owned intermediary for the import and export of defence-related equipment and technology, has become the dominant owner of Serbia's sole state-owned aviation factory: Pancevo-based Utva - Avio Industrija. Yugoimport takes control of Serbian aircraft builder Utva It's not impossible that there is certain interest for Lazar and Milos, but i highly doubt that they have order for 700 for any of these two vehicles.

But you need to have in mind that there are presidential elections, coming in Serbia soon, so i would take that information with a pinch (or even shovel) of salt. No he said that for Milos armored vehicle.
