the military requirements of any country are not a static plan, Just because you needed/planned something in 2015 doesn't mean it is still a priority today. The world is changing more rapidly today that it ever has in the past, Geo-politcal , military, environment, everything is shifting faster...

Serbia tries/hopes to purchase S400 https://tass.com/defense/1086534 I imagine just one s400 Radar would cover the entire territory + many of the surrounding NATO members too.
