00:00Serbia staged a massive military parade in Belgrade on Saturday in what officials called

00:05the country's biggest display of army strength in history.

00:09President Aleksandr Vucic said the show of force underscored Serbia's ability to defend

00:13itself and act as a deterrent.

00:15The parade featured Russian tanks and Chinese anti-aircraft systems alongside Israeli rocket

00:21launchers and French fighter jets.

00:26A clear result of the ongoing arms race in the region and a vivid message to the closest

00:30rival Croatia, who did a similar parade in July.

00:34But critics called the event a political prop designed to bolster Vucic's rule which has

00:39been challenged by 10 months of student-led protests.
