- Numerous tasks that we have performed have contributed to the affirmation of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces and that gives us hope that we will be recognized and rewarded with the support of the system, and that the system will see the importance of our role and help us to catch up with the times. We think, first of all, of the help in equipping and renewing resources, both human and material. We have ideas to spare. We are only missing a little support to put them into practice and together be proud of this house - Lt. Col. Ikonic said. He stressed that "Zastava" would continue the mission of preserving films and film activities in the defence system and media support for all significant events in the defence system.
