- This year we expect that the results will be even better and that we will have export of over six million dollars. The Serbian Defence Industry is of strategic interest both to the Government and to our state, and all the decisions that will be made, will be for the purpose of developing the industry, for workers to have better conditions and, of course, the adoption of new technologies will be also taken into account.
