Minister of Defense Dragan Sutanovac attended a special cocktail in the Czech Embassy in honor of the Military Academy students which will be sent by this embassy on a study trip to the Czech Republic.. some thirty students of the Military Academy will leave for a study trip.

In his welcome address, the Ambassador of the Czech Republic Hana Habuckova stressed that this activity is a part of a traditional bilateral military cooperation of the two countries, and as part of the activities of the Czech Embassy as a contact point for the relations between Serbia and NATO.

Thanking for the support of the Government of the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Defense and the embassy of the Czech Republic, Minister said:

- When we talk of reforms, we also talk of the changes we all have in ourselves. Our future officers cannot be modern officers unless given a chance to meet their peers abroad. Today this is an excellent opportunity to promote this study trip of our male and female cadets. When you return< I expect you to tell your colleagues about the country you visited, especially since the Czech Republic is similar to Serbia. Since it is also a member of EU, I hope we will soon join the European community.

MA cadets will be divided into two groups. The first round leaves early October, whiel the second will leave for Prague early November. During this seven-day trip, the students will visit Prague and will be acquainted with the armed forces of the Czech Republci and its system of military training.

The reception was attended, besides our cadets and the minister of defense of Serbia, by embassies representatives, and the reps of the Ministry of Foreign, and other institutions and organizations.
