Serbia and NATO conducted the first joint two‑week field exercises in May, a move that drew criticism from Russian intelligence chief Alexander Bortnikov.
Bortnikov expressed disapproval of Serbia’s involvement in the drills, stating that the country’s participation was “not welcome” and that it could undermine Russia’s strategic interests in the region.
