Abstract

The defense industry and its further development and strengthening are of great importance for the European Union and its member states, as thereby the EU Common Security and Defense Policy is also strengthened. In the Western Balkan region, the Republic of Serbia leads in the export of arms and military equipment. Therefore, the general interest of the Republic of Serbia is to harmonize its regulations governing the trade in military technology and equipment with the EU regulations, including the Council of Europe's Common Position 2008/944/CFSP.
