Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac said on April 27 that, thanks to contracts arranged during his two-day visit to Kuwait, the Serbian defense industry would become the biggest exporter from Ankara to Vienna.

On a visit to Kuwait on April 25 and 26, Sutanovac discussed cooperation on several defense projects and equipment and arms export.

"Impressive contracts were reached... which will be the flywheel of development both of Serbia and the region," Sutanovac said in response to journalists' questions after the opening of an Operations Center of the Air Force and Aircraft Defense Headquarters in Zemun, but would not specify any details.

He said topics of his talks in Kuwait also included education, the exchange of commissioned officers and military health care cooperation.

Some of the profit from the contracts will go to Serbia's military industry, the minister added.
