“We produce more ammunition than France… Europe needs it. I offered our EU friends to sign a contract and take everything we have — a great contribution to European security,” Vučić said.

"We have 30 thousand people who depend on the sale of ammunition. Currently, it is a good market and we can sell everything we produce. But when we sold, we received two very serious statements from the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service against Serbia and personally against me, because they found some shells on the Ukrainian side," he said.

Cicero: You recently said that the demonstrations against you are financed by foreign governments. Which governments are those?

Vučić: "I will not say which governments paid the protesters. I have evidence, but I do not want to present it because I do not want to jeopardize relations with those countries. We know there was massive financial support for those people from abroad. Interestingly, the protests changed; the last big demonstrations were organized by far-right student groups, not pro-European ones. And since then, the financiers have withdrawn."
