French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Serbia focuses on a potential 3 billion euro deal for 12 Rafale fighter jets, aiming to strengthen ties with the EU.
The ongoing discussions about Serbia's military capabilities highlight the country's need to upgrade its fleet, with Rafale fighters seen as a strategic move against reliance on Russian equipment.
Serbia's efforts to join the EU are complicated by its slow progress on rule of law and democratic reforms under President Vucic's leadership.
Macron's appeal to the Serbian public reiterates the importance of pursuing EU membership, although the attraction of that path appears diminished.
