Following the death of a member of Japanese Self-Defence Forces, Minister of Defence of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vulin sent a telegram of condolences to the Minister of Defence of Japan Itsunori Onodera. The telegram reads:
 
“On behalf of the members of the Ministry of Defence and Serbian Armed Forces and me personally, I would like to extend heartfelt condolences for the tragic crash of the military helicopter AH-64 in the town of Kanzaki, Saga Prefecture and the loss of life of the member of Japanese Self-Defence Forces.
 
Such and similar events only confirm all the hardness and uncertainty of the military profession, but they also reconfirm us in our belief that this honourable profession could be performed only by the toughest and the strongest.
 
Please convey our sympathy and condolences to the family of the perished member of the Japanese Self-Defence Forces”.
