Key Takeaways
Serbia’s military expenditure trends reveal the impact of regional conflicts and economic transitions. Spending surged to 5.2% of GDP in 2000, reflecting the aftermath of the Kosovo conflict and NATO intervention. The subsequent decrease to 2% by 2010 mirrored efforts to stabilize the economy and reintegrate with the global community.

Recent years saw a moderate increase, with expenditure reaching 2.3% in 2022, influenced by rising tensions in the Balkans and modernization of defense systems. This growth highlights Serbia’s balancing act between addressing regional security concerns and managing fiscal constraints.
