New Issue of “ODBRANA” Is Published





Less than two weeks after the appointment as the Minister, Aleksandar Vulin clearly defines the priorities of his mandate – betterment of economic position of the members of the system of defence and the reaffirmation of the social role of the Serbian Armed Forces. Defence policy, as the new Minister of Defence says, will ­not change, and our country will remain military nonaligned. Independent decision making on the matters of defence comes at a price, but Serbia will not give it up.­
 
In his first interview since assuming his duty, Minister Vulin speaks about the perception of a complex system that has been assigned to him, about the relation between the politics and profession, professional challenges and personal experience regarding the duty that is in front of him.
 
On the occasion of marking a quarter of century long existence of the Centre of Military Medical Establishments Belgrade, the magazine “Odbrana” interviewed the leaders of that system whose charts contain the names of more than 40,000 thousand patients who receive there the primary and secondary health protection.
 
In the new issue of our magazine you will find the Arsenal where, apart from a detailed report from recently closed arms exhibition “Partner”, you can read about the famous rifle “Dragunov” and about a promising multipurpose combat vehicle “Derivation”.
