Congratulatory messages of the Minister of Defence on the occasion of military holidays



Congratulatory message on the occasion of 14th September - the Artillery Day
 
I extend my sincere greetings to all members of the artillery branch as they celebrate 14th September - the Artillery Day.
 
On that day in 1918, the artillery preparation of the breakthrough of the Thessaloniki Front began. Continuing almost a century-long tradition, in the year of marking the centenary of the World War I, you are celebrating the holiday at the required level of operational capabilities, thus giving full contribution to the development and affirmation of both your branch, and the Army and the Serbia Armed Forces as a whole.
 
I am sure that, in the next year, you will continue to successfully perform all the set tasks, work on the professional development of members of this branch of the Serbian armed forces and that you will successfully apply the many years of experience in the newly emerged situations of life and work of your units.
 
Being convinced that you will continue to responsibly work on the professional development and technical equiping of your units, I congratulate you on your holiday.
 
Congratulatory message on the occasion of 14th September - the Military Police Day
 
I extend my sincere greetings to members of the Military Police as they celebrate 14th September - the Military Police Day.
 
In spite of very complex conditions, with your expertise, professional and responsible attitude towards work and maximum engagement, you have managed to perform many tasks in a high quality manner, maintain a respectable level and contribute to the preservation and strengthening of the operational capabilities of the Serbian Armed Forces.
 
I am convinced that in the following period, regardless of the conditions, your priority will be to preserve the high level of competence of your units, with the professional realisation of the set tasks and responsibly execute the tasks of combating criminality, controlling and maintaining the military order and discipline, securing the most important military facilities, regulate and control military road traffic and counterterrorism protection.
 
I congratulate you on your holiday, acknowledging the results you achieved in the previous period.
 
Congratulatory message on the occasion of 14th September - the Day of the Quartermaster Service
 
I extend my sincere greetings to members of the Quartermaster Service as they celebrate 14th September - the Day of the Service.
 
Continuing more than a hundred and thirty years long tradition, when the Minister of War, General Staff Colonel Jovan Petrović, issued an order of the Main Quartermaster and Administration Corps of the Supreme Headquarters, you managed to confirm the importance of quartermaster support in building the operational capability of the Armed Forces and create good conditions for the life and work of the commands and units of the Serbian Armed Forces.
 
Logistic support is certainly an element of great importance for the Serbian Armed Forces and its functioning. I congratulate you on your holiday, sure that in the forthcoming period you will successfully perform the set tasks.
 
Congratulatory message on the occasion of 15th September - the Technical Service Day
 
I extend my sincere greetings to members of the technical service as they celebrate 15th September - the Day of the Service.
 
Continuing the tradition for more than a century, when Serbia, thanks to the development and modernisation of the military industry, quickly prepared for the victories of the Balkan wars and the First World War, you marked the previous year with a successful realisation of the logistic function with quality execution of the set tasks and managed to raise the level of operational and functional capabilities of both the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence by professional attitude towards work.
 
I congratulate you on your holiday, convinced that you will continue in the future to professionally perform the tasks assigned to you and give full contribution to improving your service and logistic support of the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence as a whole.
 
Congratulatory message on the occasion of 15th September - the Movement and Transportation Service Day
 
I extend my sincere greetings to members of the movement and transportation service as they celebrate 15th September - the Day of the Service.
 
Continuing more than a century long tradition, when King Petar I Karađorđević issued the Decree on Establishment of the Movement and Transport Services, you have confirmed in the previous period that the logistical support of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces is not sustainable and functional without the active and full engagement of both the members of your service and traffic means.
 
I congratulate you on your holiday, with a wish that you continue to develop your service also in the period to come, and professionally and responsibly perform the set tasks.
