New Issue of “ODBRANA” Was Published




The members of the 250th AD Rocket Brigade of Serbian Armed Forces once again successfully executed live firing against the targets in airspace from missile systems at “Shabla” training area in Bulgaria. Besides testing the capabilities, the goal of the firing was to overcome a psychological barrier that accompanies the experience of launching. Reporters and photographers of “Odbrana” have prepared an exclusive coverage of that unique event.
 
In the year after the establishment of Joint Military and Police Force, more than 20,000 migrants were prevented from entering Serbia. Unlike some states which tried by wire and walls to prevent migrants on their way to developed European countries, in July 2016, Serbia responded to the “migrant challenge of the decade” in a civilised and dignified manner. In the new issue of the magazine we are writing about how the engagement of soldiers and police on the prevention of illegal crossings of the state border looked like.
 
To our readers, we recommend the topic of the issue – “Geopolitics of local fires”. Since the beginning of July, ten and a half hectares of forests have burnt in the fires that engulfed the region. However, it turned out that all the countries of the region cannot individually fight the blazing force. The fires, which engulfed Adriatic coastline have arose some very sensitive (geo)political issues, and they have also reopened the issue of setting up a joint rapid reaction centre.
