Congratulatory message of the Minister of Defence on River Units Day
I congratulate all members of river units on 6 August – the River Units Day.
On this day, 105 years ago, the formation of the Serbian River Flotilla officially began by launching the first Serbian river warship “Jadar” near Belgrade.
In the past year you have contributed to the enhancement of operational capabilities of the Serbian Armed Forces by fulfilling assigned tasks, participating in national and multinational exercises and multinational operations. Thanks to top training and strong motivation, your members are ready to respond to all challenges, risks and threats on inland waterways.
I congratulate you on your Day, and I am certain that you will nurture the traditions of river units and professionally perform your tasks in the Serbian Armed Forces in the next period.
