- When we received two years ago, the task to organise this conference, I was sceptical whether we will manage to do it. Today I am proud of the entire organization. Although we were faced with the floods a few days before the beginning of the congress we managed to fully meet the expectations of the participants, Brigadier General Zoran Popovic, Director of this year's Congress, said and thanked to the ICMM members who sent letters of support to Serbia and offered assistance in Congress organization.The Congress participants visited Oplenac yesterday, and during the day today they visited the deployable medical treatment facilities in Obrenovac, which were set up by the members of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces in the previous days to provide the residents of the recently flooded city which is available 24 hours a day.
