The New Issue of “Odbrana” was published



The facts that intelligence services govern political and economic systems of less developed countries, direct their internal and foreign policies, destabilize countries are not questioned anymore. All these processes are still managed by a man. And he is vulnerable. The one who finds his weak point will have intelligence success. Owing to this, our country has come into possession of NATO secret documents stating the targets envisaged for bombing in 1999. How that came and why the Alliance changed the time of the beginning of the attack for spring in the following year for “Odbrana” speaks retired Lieutenant General Jovan Milanovic, our intelligence officer and the main participant of the event.
                      
Although “the Balkans route”, the route which made many migrants from Syria, Afghanistan and other countries think of as the right choice in search for better life in Western Europe, officially does not exist anymore, a lot of them still stay in Serbia. Teams consisting of representatives of ministries, humanitarian and civil society organizations, which were given responsible tasks during the migrant crisis, face on a daily basis with destiny of each person individually, but also the unpredictable psychology of the mass, which can break loose at any time. The challenges of “the Balkans route” are the topic of the new issue of the military magazine.
