sold by a company called Podin

According to the documents seen by BIRN, the artillery rounds were sold by a company called Podin d.o.o., based in the small town of Grude, southwestern Bosnia. Podin d.o.o. is registered as dealing in real estate, but it also holds a licence for the export of military equipment. Arms experts say a single 155mm HE M107 artillery round costs between 2,000 and 3,500 euros, providing the buyer is willing to wait. “If you want it immediately, the price can go up to between five and eight thousand euros,” Sarajevo-based defence technology expert Berko Zecevic told BIRN. The identity of the manufacturer remains unclear, as does the reason why a small-town firm registered primarily as dealing in real estate acted as intermediary. ufabet
