Serbia staged a large-scale military parade in Belgrade on Saturday, showcasing tanks, missile systems, and fighter jets, in a display of the Western Balkan nation's multi-pronged foreign policy balancing EU aspirations with arms deals spanning France, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Israel and Russia.
Ten thousand military troops marched through the New Belgrade neighbourhood of the Serbian capital, as crowds waved national flags and aircraft flew overhead in what the government said was a celebration of the Day of Serb Unity, Freedom and the National Flag.
