Serbian president at MiG-29 handover
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic visited the Batajnica airbase outside Belgrade on Tuesday to attend the handover of the first two of six MiG-29 fighter aircraft procured from Russia, the Beta news agency reported.
The two aircraft underwent maintenance work before being deployed to a Serbian air force fighter unit. The first of the two aircraft was tested following maintenance and upgrades late in July.

According to media reports, the maintenance and upgrade work on the Russian MiG-29s cost more than 200 million Euros.
