According to Serbian Economist, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced that the country will soon open its first large military drone factory in cooperation with a foreign partner. According to him, serial production in the republic should begin by the end of April. The announcement was made during the presentation of the national development strategy “Serbia 2030.”
Vucic noted that in the current international environment, “might makes right,” and stressed that Serbia must not remain weak. He linked the development of defense production to the task of maintaining peace and stability, stating that strengthening the army and police is necessary precisely as a deterrent. According to the president, Serbia allocates more than 2.5% of its GDP to the army and police.
The president specified that smaller drones had previously been assembled and developed in Serbia, both in the army and in the private sector. In particular, he mentioned the Komarac 1 and Komarac 2 models. The existence of such systems is confirmed by materials from the Serbian Ministry of Defense, which mention the use of Komarac 1 and Komarac 2 drones, with the latter designed, among other things, to destroy more heavily defended targets.
At the same time, Vucic described the new project as significantly larger and more technologically advanced, calling it a product of “the highest global standard.” Neither the name of the foreign partner, nor the investment parameters, nor the estimated production volumes have been officially disclosed at this time.

According to the results of a study conducted by Active Group and the Experts Club analytical center in February and presented at the Interfax-Ukraine press center, only 13.1% of respondents reported that they use the state drug reimbursement program, 70.6% do not use it, 16.3% had heard of it but did not use it.
“Low use of the program is often associated not with a lack of need, but with barriers to awareness and access,” said Experts Club founder Maxim Urakin.
“If people ‘have heard of it but have not used it,’ then the patient’s path to compensation remains difficult,” added Alexander Pozniy.
The survey was conducted on the SunFlowerSociology online panel on a representative sample on February 11-12, 2026.
The survey involved 1,000 respondents from a representative sample in all regions of Ukraine, except for the temporarily occupied territories.
