Signing of contracts for voluntary military service



The second generation of young men and women, from the territory of the Regional Centre of Belgrade, signed contracts for voluntary military service. Contracts, in the House of Guards at Topcider were signed by 50 future soldiers who will commence their service on 1 September, will undergo training in training centers, and eleven of them will attend the course for reserve officers.

- I do not doubt that you will achieve great results in training. They will certainly depend on your ability, commitment and determination of most of you to continue your professional career in the Army – as Gligorijevi? Nebojsa, Chief of the Regional Centre of Belgrade addressed future soldiers.

Future recruits were invited to report to their respective training centers with all travel expenses covered - in Valjevo, Sombor and Belgrade. Their training will last three months - the first half will be spent in the military, the other half in specialist training.

- The military has always attracted me, and I decided to apply for the program. I plan to enter professional service after the training as Dragan Brakus from Batajnica states.

Most candidates want to continue their career in the defense establishment – either as soldiers under contract or as officers after completing the course for military reservists.

- I decided to do this so I can get employment in the Army and, if necessary, defend my country – as Nemanja Ciric said, stating that he was following in the footsteps of his father, also a military person.

- Military profession attracts me because of the challenges and exercises that we have in nature, and my grandfather was a military man. My wish is to stay in the Army and to advance as much as possible- says Maja Stojicevic from Lazarevac.

This is the second generation of recruits who will willingly serve the military service. starting with previous generation, women can too be trained and are equal to their male counterparts, and this year they account for 10 percent of the total number of candidates.
