Cadets of the Military Academy also didn’t hide their joy for attending the liturgy and the prayer service.- I am honored to have attended the praying service that, for me, represents a beginning of a hopefully successful officer career and the height of the work and effort I have invested in the last four years in order to join the line of officers of our military – cadet Katarina Milovac said.
In the words of Djordje Obradovic, 135th Class cadet, religion has always had a special place in the minds of soldiers, making them immortal. – Today’s praying service at the Cathedral is a particular incentive for us to endure all challenges ahead.
