The political scientist also reminded that on the same day, President Aliyev attended a demonstration of unmanned aerial vehicles, anti-drone systems and other Serbian-made military equipment, as well as demonstration performances of special parachute units of Serbia.

“Azerbaijan and Serbia always saw eye-to-eye on the questions of inviolability of state territory. A year ago, in April 2023, there was a strong campaign to bring Kosovo into the Council of Europe, an international organization of which Azerbaijan is an influential member. Azerbaijan lent its support to Serbia, voting against Kosovo becoming a member of CoE.”
