That was the Communists supporting Saddam, not Serbia. Had the UN not imposed crippling sanctions on Serbia and Montenegro, there would've been no need to trade weapons for oil.

Had the Serbs not conducted ethnic cleansing campaigns against their non-Serb neighbors, there would have been no sanctions. The sanctions were imposed by the UN Security Council, meaning they only needed to be vetoed by one of the permanent members--the USA, UK, France, Germany, China, and Slavic big-brother Russia. Such were the Serb depredations that not one opposed the sanctions.

Serbs supplying weapons to Iraq in 2002 have nothing to do with communists. And note that it was the extreme nationalistic Serb Radical Party that sent its leader to meet with Hussein in 2001, even after 9-11. The Serb Radical Party is still the largest party in Serbia.
