Serbia strengthens cooperation with Huawei ignoring U.S. ban


(MENAFN) Tatjana Matic, Serbian State Secretary in the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications the country is planning to continue and improve cooperation with Huawei, ignoring the U.S. restrictions on the company.

Reflecting on the fact that Huawei is one of the most outstanding companies on the Serbian market, Matic confirmed that there are no potential consequences for Serbia's consumers of Huawei products, nor for the future of the joint projects of Serbian government with Huawei.

Washington announced last week a national emergency over what it claimed are technological threats, and announced restrictions on sale and transfer of American technologies to China's Huawei.

The Chinese telecom company has long been accused by the United States of being able to use its network equipment to spy on foreign nations for the Chinese government. However, "no intelligence service has published clear evidence that Huawei inserted 'backdoors' for Chinese authorities to access the data that passes through its networks," according to a December 2018 article by U.S. media Politico.
