Serbian Armed Forces Engineering Units at the Service of Citizens
This summer again, members of the Serbian Armed Forces engineering units, in cooperation with local government authorities, are engaged in several municipalities of the Republic of Serbia in carrying out works aimed at improving living and working conditions of citizens and protecting human lives and property.
In the municipality of Bela Palanka, the engineering units of the Third Army Brigade are carrying out preventive cleaning of the Mokranska River bed from soil deposits, swollen vegetation and other deposited material in order to increase the permeability of the river bed for water, ice and sediment, and reduce the risk of flash floods.
Near the village of Igrište, municipality of Kuršumlija, an engineering working group from the Third Army Brigade is working on the rehabilitation and improvement of local roads, which are used not only by members of the Serbian Armed Forces, but also by the local population.
At the same time, soldiers and officers of the pontoon engineering specialty of the River Flotilla take care of the safety and maintenance of the pontoon bridge from the Zemun Quay to the Great War Island, which they used to bridge the Danube River last week, thus making it easier for the citizens of Belgrade to get to the Lido Beach.
The engagement in such projects provides an opportunity for members of the Serbian Armed Forces engineering units to test their abilities in practice and further improve their competence to operate modern engineering machines and equipment used for road construction, overcoming water and other obstacles, blocking and camouflage.
In this way, the Serbian Armed Forces demonstrate that they are always at the service of citizens, not only when it comes to defending the country, and that they are ready and capable of engaging their capacities in a short period of time and providing assistance to the population when needed.
