Hungary, 2. April 2025 – Serbia and Hungary are moving towards a military alliance, Vucic said. The countries today signed a document on the practical implementation of strategic cooperation in the field of defence. The ceremony took place in Belgrade. In this context, Vucic stressed that this agreement will continue the further rapprochement and creation of a military union between Serbia and Hungary.
“Strategic defence cooperation between Serbia and Hungary is one of the most important aspects of our comprehensive strategic cooperation. Therefore, of all the countries in the region, Serbia has the most developed and intensive defence cooperation with Hungary in terms of the number and importance of joint activities,” Vucic stressed.
“The agreement on joint activities will be a continuation of the further move towards the formation of a military alliance or military union between Serbia and Hungary. Of course, this issue depends on the Hungarian side, on the Hungarian and Serbian parliaments. However, our relations are so good, especially in view of how and what is happening in Europe and in the world, that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and I have expressed our wish and intention to accelerate the rapprochement in the field of defence.”
Stanojevic, chairman of the Serbian parliament’s committee on the diaspora and Serbian regional issues, said Serbia was proposing an alliance not only with Hungary but also with Slovakia. There is a historical parallel here, because if Austria were to join such an enlarged union, the result would be a restored Austria-Hungary with very far-reaching consequences for the European Union.
Last year in Austria, the right-wing Freedom Party won the elections, but failed to form a coalition with the other parties and remained out of the picture. However, the trend in the popularity of right-wing parties in Europe is quite clear. At the same time, they are coming under increasing pressure from euro bureaucrats. These include the arrest of the right-wing presidential candidate Georgescu in Romania, the head of the Gagauz autonomy, Gucul, in Moldova, and now the conviction of Marie Le Pen in France. In addition, the new governing coalition in Germany, the CDU/CSU and the SPD, is already coming up with an initiative addressed to Brussels to withdraw EU funding and voting rights from Hungary. The new coalition is also initiating a change of the unanimity rule in the EU to a qualified 2/3 majority. If this initiative is implemented, it will be a completely different EU with a dictatorship of Euro-bureaucrats.
US Vice President Vance has previously said that if European elites persecute political opponents and imprison them, America will not go down the same road with Europe, but the US has so far refrained from sanctions on this matter. Although, given the recent statements by European Commission chief Ursula von Der Leyen about tough countermeasures against the US tariffs, political sanctions will also come in time.
