Russian, Serbian military to take part in joint military exercises in Belarus

Belarusian, Russian and Serbian military forces will take part in joint military exercises in Belarus, the RIA news agency cited Belarus’ defence ministry as saying on Tuesday.

It said the Russian and Serbian forces would arrive in Belarus from Sept. 10 to 15, without elaborating. Belarus has been racked by daily mass protests since President Alexander Lukashenko claimed victory in a contested election last month.
