The leaders of Turkey and Serbia say they plan close cooperation between their military industries including a possible joint production of military drones. The announcement Friday comes months after a delivery of Turkish unmanned aircraft to Kosovo, which sparked anger in Belgrade.

Kosovo leaders said that the five Turkish drones would boost their ability to defend against another possible Serbian attack. In 1998-1999 Serbia violently cracked down on Kosovo Albanian separatists, prompting a 78-day NATO air war to stop the bloodshed. “The Turkish military industry is significantly stronger than ours,” Vucic said at a joint news conference with Erdogan. “But, without false modesty, we are not to be neglected either. Within those frameworks, I see room for great cooperation.”Asked whether the joint military industry cooperation would include the production of Bayraktar drones, Erdogan said: “Serbia has certain capacities, we have certain capacities and as friendly countries we can develop our capacities together.
Another Serbian neighbor Bosnia has expressed interest in the purchase of the drones of the same type and NATO-member Romania has already incorporated Bayraktar TB2 UAVs into its military inventory.
