Serbia has given Russia a shopping list of military equipment it would like to buy and a newly created Russian-Serbian commission for military-technical cooperation will examine the request later this month.

Kommersant wrote that Andrei Boitsov, First Deputy Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), will be the Russian co-chair of the commission.
The Russian newspaper said Serbia has requested to buy MiG-29s, Buk, Tor and Pantsir-S1 air defense systems. Instead of getting those items off the production line, Russia is likely to refurbish its own existing stocks and sell them to Serbia.
Contrary to previous media reports, the sale of S-300 air defense system was not included in discussions as Serbia cannot afford it with its current defense budget.
