France and Serbia sign multi-billion dollar deal for sale of Rafale fighter jets during Macron's visit

The deal, worth an undisclosed sum, includes the delivery of nine single-seat and three two-seat jets to Serbia by 2029. This sale is a significant development in the relationship between France and Serbia, and is seen as a way for France to bolster its ties with the country. However, it is worth noting that Serbia has historically maintained close ties with Russia, and it is unclear how this deal may impact those relationships.
It is an opening towards a strategic change despite a lot of pressure, which must be underlined. It is real strategic courage and an opportunity for Europe.
We are happy to become part of the Rafale club. We thank the president of France for making this decision and for enabling us to purchase the new Rafales.
The total value of the contract is 2.7 billion, and 12 new aircraft will be owned by the Republic of Serbia.
It's a huge contract for our country, and not a small one even for France.
