"Serbia to send US-trained deminers to help Russians"
Two issues are currently causing "static on the line" between the US ambassador and Serbia's defense minister, the Belgrade-based daily Blic is reporting.

Blic states that over the past months, the US had set aside "considerable financial means" to educate and train Serbian deminers - whose first assignment the field will be "none other than in Syria, and on the Russian side."
The daily is citing an unnamed source who said the US is now "considering whether to even continue with the program of sending Serbian Army members to America for training."
According to the US, the second issue is Serbia's "understanding of military neutrality."
"Military maneuvers where Serbia is taking part with the Russians have caused the Americans' suspicions, and they are also worried about the acquisition of arms from Russia," the source said.
On the other hand, continued the article, "the Russians have reason to complain" - considering that Serbia has signed a cooperation agreement with NATO that grants diplomatic immunity and freedom of movement to NATO soldiers - a privilege that the staff of the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center in Nis does not enjoy.
NO Dwight no, UPON invitation of the governments of Syria, Zimbabwe, or Turkmenistan, Serbia can send deminers in all said countries and NO Un mandate is needed. Maybe a voted decision taken by Serbia's parliament, maybe. At best, at best, the "neutrality" in military field is just a statement included in Serbia's national strategy of defence, a principle stating Serbia is not part of any military alliance. That's it thats all "military neutrality" is about and has nothing to do with a previous UN mandate. Maybe a technical military agreement with the syrian government.

@Mike Canada
Serbia are militarily neutral. If they want to demine Syria they must do this through the UN, not NATO or Russia/Iran

Rote here are some of them Croatian built [link] MV4 and MVF5 with the Russian Army. Probably the Russian recruits think it is Russian built.
(Lenard, 16 October 2017 22:28)
Yes Lenny no forget that Croatian Egyptians built the pyramids and Croatian Romans the Coliseum in Rome. What would the world do without loud mouth Croats boasting about their non-existent achievements?

Why?
Did Albanians resist the US when they plunged the Balkans into war?
How about Croatians and Bosnian Muslims? They all happily indulged.

You go ahead and resist the Russians and see in what other kind of deep shit you can get yourselves in.

Lenard,
I KNOW THAT YOU STILL PRODUCE SOME ARMS BUT PLEASE DON'T MAKE US LAUGH COMPARING IT WITH ROSOBORONEXPORT. WE TECHNICAL LEADERS IN ARMS RACE AS WE ALL KNOW.
Don’t call me stupid hiding behind your cowardly computer screen.
I’m not so stupid, and I’m certainly not persuaded by your view of the world.

Signing deals with the devil is always going to cause problems. Serbia should have never signed a cooperation agreement with NATO.

Either the current leadership is not up to scratch, which is not good or the leadership is in bed with the globalists which is also not good.
What third explanation can there be? Serbia thinking they are pulling wool over their eyes?
(Peggy, 17 October 2017 12:28)
Of course the US is "worried" since they are panicking and not-so-covertly-any-more supporting, training and equipping ISIS together with Saudi Barbaria and "israel". If Serbian troops would agree to fight with US's cutthroat mercenaries of whatever flavor that would be all jolly and good.

Serbia is nothing but a pariah criminal state and I use the word state very loosely. It planted 10's of thousands of mines in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. That kill maim people to this day. When the asses were asked where they planted those mines. Duff's retards said we didn't keep records were just incorrigible Serbs. Rote Russia is buying Croatian demining remote machines [link] from our company Dok-ing. They been sold around the world U.S. Army the biggest buyer.
(Lenard, 16 October 2017 18:26)
I think is the fault of the Serbs for the situation they are and they blame West or whatever , i think this because Serbia is a small country and is easy to be managed + a good position on the map + a decent infrastructure as legacy of most important country from Yugoslavia
At the same time 1999 created big demage of billions but that was 19 years ago 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 => 9 years in a row whre Serbia gdp had never grow even for once with 3%
Who have the fault for this ? West ?

Not surprisingly there is reason to question Serbia’s attitude and activity.
Serbia has rather drawn attention to itself on these matters, so comments about training demineralise are very much at the moderate end of possible reaction.
