AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoArmed Robot Dogs in Serbia: Serbia displayed armed quadruped “robot dogs” during the Victor 2026 exercise just weeks after opening a Chinese-designed robot factory in Šabac, with reports of Yugoslav Wasp anti-tank missiles, rifles and 40mm grenade launchers—though it’s unclear whether the robots were assembled in Serbia and observers doubt any near-term “killer dog” mass rollout. Renewables Push: Masdar and Taaleri Energia inaugurated the 154MW Čibuk 2 wind farm in Serbia, expanding the Čibuk complex to 312MW and positioning it as the largest wind hub in the country/Western Balkans. Grid Storage Talks: Serbia’s EPS and Masdar discussed large-scale battery energy storage projects (BESS) at RES Serbia 2026, but capacity, sites and timelines weren’t disclosed yet. Industry Expansion: Engel is setting up a manufacturing site in Kikinda to produce machined components, aiming for shorter lead times and more reliable supply chains for European and US customers. Climate Data Shock: Copernicus reports August 2026 as the warmest August ever, at 1.65°C above the pre-industrial baseline—raising pressure on Europe’s heat and drought response. EU Tech/Policy Signals: The EU backed a path for Canada to become an “associate member,” with cooperation flagged across AI, manufacturing, defence and critical minerals.
