Baranovichi-based 558 Aircraft Repair Plant JSC hosted the second meeting of the joint Belarusian–Serbian commission on military-technical cooperation. The commission was established under the intergovernmental agreement on military-technical cooperation between Belarus and Serbia, which was signed on 26 January 2017.
The parties noted the high level of cooperation and reaffirmed their mutual interest in the further development of military-technical cooperation. They also discussed the results of the agreements reached at the first commission meeting, as well as identified promising areas for mutually beneficial cooperation. The final protocol was signed by the leaders of the commission’s national parts — Igor Demidenko, First Deputy Minister of the Belarusian State Authority for Military Industry, and Nenad Miloradovic, Assistant to the Serbian Defence Minister for Material Resources.
The Serbian delegation members familiarised themselves with production facilities and capabilities of 558 Aircraft Repair Plant JSC, with the progress in repair and modernisation of the MiG-29 aircraft owned by the Serbian Air Force, as well as with the potential of Belarusian defence companies.
