This Tuesday, June 12, 2018, Vulin pointed to the importance of Serbia's participation in the prestigious French fair and added that the stand of Yugoimport-SDPR attracted a lot of attention.

– We can be proud and we can compete with much more developed countries, not just in the production of ammunition, for which we are world-famous, but in complex combat systems, which is something that only the strongest armies in the world can say for themselves. This is a way for Serbia to present itself to the world and to present its results, as something that certainly contributes to the development of our industry – Vulin emphasized.

As he emphasized, all products presented in Paris are relatively new and are a showcase of Serbia's innovative weapon technologies.
