A recent report of the SEESAC organization on arms exports in 2016, for Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania and Macedonia, quoted by BIRN, shows that these countries have sold 514 million EUR of weapons and ammunition to the Saudi during that year.
The documents shows that Albania sold up to 1.2 million EUR of guns, the same amount as Montenegro. Serbia hold the record with 406 million EUR.
SEESAC calculates that the Balkan countries have won more cash than EU from selling guns to the Middle East, and even more than North America.
Same as the last two years, Saudi Arabia has bought most of the guns and ammunition. However, there are other countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Algeria and Turkey.
