Looks like the Bulgarian and Serbian air forces also have very close cooperation, and both countries have been offered the JF-17 by Pak.
Proka have you heard anything regarding the possibility of Serbia picking up some JF-17's? Seems like the perfect airplane for Serbia, basically a modern Mig-21 with a single Mig-29 engine. Both of which Serbia has operated and has experience with for decades. Presumably minimum investment in support equipment as well. Trainers and simulators could be shared with Bulgaria, as is already the case.
Only issue of course is money and pissing off the Russians but there could be a trade worked out as well with Nora artillery and Lazar's no?

I just saw Romania has purchased a squadron of ex Portuguese F16's. Will Serbia be training against these under a "threat simulation" scenario?

more details emerge, 2 Airbus AS532 Cougars + 2 Mi17's. No word yet on model of new transport aircraft, but most likely CN235 or C295.
Serbia appears to be courting Airbus and France as opposed to waiting any longer for Russian loans.

The country also hopes that to engage the European aerospace giant to upgrade its Soko Super Galeb G-4MD trainers, as well as in the creation of a regional maintenance and overhaul facility for rotorcraft in collaboration with its Moma Stanojlovic facility near Belgrade.

Serbia in the finals of the Tank Biathlon

The tank team of the Serbian Armed Forces placed today, at the training field Alabino in Russia, in the finals of the Tank Biathlon, showing that they have the quality equal to that of largest armies in the world. On Saturday, at the start of the finals of the most attractive competition at the International Military Games - Tank Biathlon, along the tank with the flag of the Republic of Serbia, tanks of the Russian Federation, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Kazakhstan will compete. The competition ended today for India, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the last year's vice-champion Armenia.

In two tied and very close races, teams of eight semi-finalists showed exceptional skills in driving tanks, overcoming anti-tank obstacles and solving tasks of fire. In relation to the stage of the individual races, when each crew competed in their own tanks, relay race was driven in the semifinals, which means that the crews took turns on one combat vehicle. The training of aimers this time had much more influence on the outcome of the race, because, for each miss from a cannon or composite machine guns, the teams had to drive so-called penal circles.

The finals of the Tank Biathlon and the closing ceremony of the International Military Games 2015 will be attended by the delegation of our country headed by Minister of Defence Bratislav Gasic.

from B92, looks like Serbia plans to keep the Mig-21's airborne for a while longer.

Gasic noted there were "promises from Russia" that two Mi-17B5 helicopters will be delivered to the Serbian Air Force by the end of the year and will cost EUR 25.3 million. He also spoke about a plan to start repairing nine MiG-21 jets next year, "so we can have a respectable squadron of fighter aviation by 2015."

"Airbus also wants wider cooperation. This company is interested in modernizing Super Galeb G4s by modernizing the first in Germany, and the remaining eight in the Moma Stanojlovic Institute (in Serbia)," said Gasic.But the minister revealed that Serbia has "for the time being" given up on the idea of buying new warplanes, and will consider buying "only what is necessary without taking out new loans
