Meeting of State Secretary Živković with Director of RACVIAC




State Secretary at the Ministry of Defense, Aleksandar Živkovic, met today in Belgrade with the Director of the Center for Security Cooperation RACVIAC, retired Mayor General Jeronim Bazo.

The meeting was opened with the emphasis of the very good cooperation that the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Serbia and RACVIAC have had so far and that would in the future continue to develop and upgrade.

State Secretary Živković said that during 2018, representatives of the Republic of Serbia participated in 14 activities organized by the Center. He went on to emphasize that efforts will be made to increase those numbers in the year ahead, as well as the number of experts and lecturers from Serbia, in order to improve the overall quality of joint activities.

It was particularly stressed that this week the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces have hosted the activities of the RACVIAC Center – Orientation Course on the Implementation of the Agreement on Subregional Arms Control in Kraljevo, which once again confirmed the good cooperation between the Center and the Ministry of Defense.

State Secretary Živković emphasized that in the 21st century no state can fight against the modern security challenges such as terrorism, natural disasters and technological incidents by itself. The Republic of Serbia strongly supports all the ideas that lead to revitalization of the Western Balkans and Southeast Europe, and it is especially important to continue to implement all forms of cooperation and dialogue that will contribute to peace, stability and development of this region.
