New issue of ODBRANA




 
Pilots of the Flight Test Centre at the Technical Test Centre, Major Robert Kaloci and Aleksandar Matić, were performing a regular training flight on the Super Galeb G-4 trainer combat aircraft, when their aircraft crashed in the municipality of Kovačica on 11th April in the morning. On that occasion, Major Kaloci was killed, and Major Matić was transported to the Military Medical Academy in a conscious state.
 
The lenses of Odbrana magazine captured the most interesting details of the Synergy 2018, where the units of the Serbian Armed Forces demonstrated their capabilities and readiness to address security threats.
 
We also recommend to the readers' attention the text on “Departure of the Prosecutor”, which deals with the future of the Specialist Chambers ("special court") for Crimes in Kosovo and Metohija, asking whether only the inertia in the State Department and the lack of interest in prosecuting an old Ally in the Balkans are the reasons for the departure of the Chief Prosecutor for KLA crimes or the court, which is expected to show at least a grain of justice for the Serbian victims, which is not yet “finished work”.
 
The new issue of Odbrana magazine brings also texts about the April 1941 war heroes in Yugoslavia, the demographic picture of Serbia and its prospects, truths and misconceptions about healthy life, the Sofia National Military History Museum, as well as the article on the courage of a member of Cobras who, off the duty, prevented an armed robbery in a supermarket.
