Serbia's Foreign Minister Opposes Sale of Weapons to Armenia

Another story today that was originally reported quite a bit ago. This time the opposition is much closer to Serbia.

We have long declared that the OSCE has imposed an arms embargo on Armenia and Azerbaijan because of the conflict in Nagornyy-Karabakh and that there is an instructive Resolution 8153 by the UN Security Council that requires all countries to refrain from supplying "any arms or ammunition to Armenia or Azerbaijan." underlined [Serbia's Foreign Minister Draskovic.

Then there is the decision by the US Government to discontinue business with countries that violate arms embargoes. Since the Kragujevac arms manufacturers earn more than 20m dollars a year from exporting arms to the United States, there is a big risk of losing 22m dollars because of that 2m dollars deal with Armenia, but from the outset I have thought that the state should compensate the arms manufacturers.

It's hard to argue with that, but why was any sort of business initiated knowing full well that there was an embargo? Something seems fishy.
