In the course of the regular activities of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Serbia, a meeting was held between Chief of International Military Cooperation Department Battleship Captain Milan Konjikovac and defence attaché of the Republic of Slovenia in Belgrade Colonel Damjana Jurkovic.Both sides expressed their satisfaction with the level of present cooperation in the field of defence and the tendency for its further improvement. Considering the recently held joint session of the governments of Serbia and Slovenia in Ljubljana which confirmed the dedication to further development of bilateral relations in a friendly and constructive spirit, the interlocutors agreed that that path should also be followed in the field of defence.
Battleship Captain Konjikovac evaluated that the high-level meetings give particular quality to the cooperation and conveyed his belief that such practice would be continued this year as well, with the realization of planned visits of Minister of Defence and Chief of General Staff of Serbian Armed Forces to the Republic of Slovenia.
The results of such visits in the past period have positively influenced the quality of cooperation in the field of defence, with the number of planned bilateral activities increasing each year, which has placed Slovenia in the very top among countries from the region with which Serbia intensively cooperates in the field of defence. Konjikovac introduced his interlocutor with the process of the Republic of Serbia's accession to the European Union and the priorities of the OSCE chairmanship.
Colonel Jurkovic stressed that the planned activities enable the continuation of cooperation in the fields of exchanging practices from the process of forming noncommissioned officer corps, cooperation of military archives, planning and programming of the development of the defence system and defence performance management, and establishing cooperation in the field of training of special units.
At the end of the meeting, the Bilateral Military Cooperation Plan for 2015 was devised and signed.
