Jugoimport – SDPR ( Serbian - Cyrillic Југоимпорт – СДПР , English Yugoimport ) is the state armaments company of Serbia. It was founded in 1949 as a state armaments company of Yugoslavia . During the Cold War, the capacities of Yugoimport-SDPR were expanded, as Yugoslavia wanted to make itself independent of Soviet arms imports. After the break-up of Yugoslavia, the company was re-established as the Serbian state arms company in 1997. Today it is under the Serbian government and works closely with the armed forces of Serbia as well as numerous local companies.

In the past, the company has been criticized several times because it was accused of having supplied countries despite the existing arms embargoes , such as Libya , Syria or Iraq under Saddam Hussein .
