BELGRADE, June 22 (Hina) - Two US F16 combat aircraft landed at
Batajnica military airport near Belgrade on Thursday, which Serbia assessed as
a sign of strengthened military cooperation with the United States.
The Defence Ministry said in a statement this was a "historic visit" because
those were the first US military planes to land at a Serbian military
airport.
The ministry said the visit was part of the advancement of Serbia-US
military cooperation and was the result of an invitation made to General
Charles Wald, commander of the US European command, when he visited Belgrade in
March.
