"Serbia to get Russian MiGs on NATO aggression anniversary" (B92, Večernje Novosti)

Russian President Vladimir Putin should sign a degree on the delivery of six MiG-29s to Serbia during his meeting in Moscow with Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic.

Belgrade-based Vecernje Novosti is reporting this, and adding that there is a great chance that the warplanes will officially join the Serbian Armed Forces "symbolically" on March 24 - the 18th anniversary of the start of NATO's aggression against Serbia.

The MiGs will land at the military airport in Batajnica at the end of the month. The handover ceremony will be attended by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the newspaper writes, and adds that "the details of the arrival of the MiGs" are not published officially for the time being.

According to the article, two possibilities are under consideration.
