Vučić Announces New Drone Factory in Serbia by Mid-September

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced that a new drone factory should open in the country by mid-September, continuing a series of announcements about developing high-tech industry in Serbia.

The drone factory announcement comes right on the heels of Vučić's recent statements about opening a first humanoid robot production factory in Šabac, in partnership with Chinese investors — part of a broader strategy to position Serbia as a regional hub for advanced technology and manufacturing.

Part of a Broader Industrial Ambition

Details on the specific location, investors and scale of planned production have not yet been officially disclosed. Still, announcements like this fit a continuing pattern from Serbian leadership — a combination of technology investments aimed at both civilian and likely defense applications, in a region where drone technology is gaining growing significance in both the civilian and military sectors.

The development of high-tech industries in neighboring Serbia remains a topic closely watched in Macedonia too, particularly in the context of regional competition to attract foreign investment in the tech sector.
