Serbia risks US sanctions over Russia arms deals
By EUobserver
Serbia could face US sanctions over purchases of Russian jet fighters, attack helicopters, and anti-aircraft missiles produced by firms on an American blacklist. The missiles would be delivered "in the next few months", Russian news agency Tass said Wednesday. A US diplomat, Thomas Zarzecki, who handles sanctions, is due in Belgrade Friday. A US special envoy, Matthew Palmer, said earlier this week Serbia could "run the risk of being sanctioned".
