Minister Sutanovac recieves Admiral di Paolo



Minister of Defense Dragan Sutanovac talked today with Admiral Gianpaolo di Paolo, Chairman of NATO Military Committee Admiral.

Admiral di Paola congratulated minister Sutanovac, the Ministry of Defense and Serbian Armed Forces on an excellent organization of the Strategic Military Conference for Partners held in Belgrade from 13 to 15 June.

He estimated that despite good organization, a high number of participants should also be mentioned as another advantage, since previous conferences had not seen such a high number of partner countries, especially a large number of CHODs. According to Admiral Di Paola’s estimate, this points to the fact that MoD and SAF enjoy high repute as partners, while also proving their support and encouragement to the reforms in Serbia.

Minister Sutanovac acquainted Admiral Di Paolo with the process of reforms in the defense system, stressing the importance of his participation I the Partnership for peace Program as a form of support and help to these reforms.

The interlocutors agreed that the Serbia-NATO cooperation is very important, especially in the conditions of global security challenges, and that establishing the stand tads of interoperability was more important than the form of these relations.
