Confidential documents … reveal that Serbia is procuring equipment to expand China’s eLTE network system, increasing the capacity of the “Safe City” by another 3.500 cameras, despite domestic public opposition and criticism from the EU.
…
[New] documents contain details of the purchase of components to expand the protected eLTE network, which is based on Chinese Huawei technology and connects video surveillance cameras, police terminals and command centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP).
It is the first written clue about the development of the network on which the “Safe City” project relies, a program that was launched back in 2017, when the Ministry of Interior of Serbia and the Chinese company Huawei signed the “Strategic Partnership Agreement for the introduction of eLTE technologies and solutions for the Safe City in the field of public security”.
While the core of the Safe City project is the introduction of an intelligent video surveillance system, the eLTE network represents a platform for protected communication and data transfer within such a system.
The procurement of equipment, software and services for the expansion of the eLTE communication network was carried out in March 2024, marked as confidential.
Among the order items is a significant increase in the dispatch system using the eLTE network, including GIS software for resource access that expands the ability to view footage from cameras at specific locations.

Why should they trust Palantir more?
despite EU warnings
A
daymonth after the EUrequires-prepared their own law for- age verification for porn which will end as identity verification for everything. Those double standards are ridiculous.But what about EU? What about US? Yeah no shit, they’re bad. This isn’t a competition about who’s right or who has the highest horse.
Just questioning eu’s duplicity, as long as eu does it, its ok, but when somebody else does it, it’s the biggest threat to international security
Hasn’t Serbia been comparing their options and chosen China?
No, they intend to join the EU.
This criticism would hold more weight, if eu wasn’t doing the same thing with palantir (pro-usa idiots really don’t like facing facts)
There have been posts about Palantir with equally critical comments, but with no whataboutisms. These whataboutisms emerge only when you criticize China here on Lemmy. It’s a very questionable and dishonest behaviour.
Its just hard to belive that we are supposed to be “the good guys”/somehow better that russia, china, serbia when we do the same sh*t as they do. Where’s the democracy, freedom of speech… all of this is being denied more and more in eu and usa. I was just trying to show duplicity of eu, if it came out as whataboutism Im sorry for that. Furthermore Im not saying the criticism isnt valid, It just sounds hypocritical coming from eu
