Should we be afraid of arming Serbia?

The article discusses concerns over Serbia's military buildup, comparing it to Croatia's current defense spending and historical tensions. Former intelligence officer Ante Letica and military analyst Marinko Ogorec analyze Serbia's motivations, linking them to the concept of a 'Great Serbia' and the idea of a 'Serbian world.' Letica argues that while Croatia does not need to fear Serbia today due to its stronger position, it should remain vigilant and prepared. He warns that Serbia's military expansion could lead to conflict, citing past conflicts like Operation Storm and the 1995 actions. Letica also mentions that Serbia's allies, including Israel, Ukraine, and the US, are aware of its military activities and purchases. Meanwhile, Ogorec advises against falling into a regional arms race but emphasizes the need for strong, capable armed forces.
