— Our capabilities have been thoroughly tested over the past year through a wide range of activities, including individual training for different categories of personnel, mastering the use of newly introduced and received equipment and weapons, induction of new non-commissioned officers, execution of 75 national exercises and almost 800 firing practices with both individual and collective weapons, as well as participation in multinational operations in Lebanon and in activities as part of the Serbian Armed Forces’ third mission. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff for their support, as well as to government authorities, the Serbian Orthodox Church and other religious communities, public and private companies and numerous associations for their exceptional cooperation — said General Zlatković. The celebration of the Training Command Day was enhanced by the performance of “Stanislav Binički”, the Art Ensemble of the Ministry of Defence.
