Colonel Andric and Lieutenant Colonel Milanovic were conferred awards by State Secretary Neric who said that scientific research in the defence system is one of the main factors and drivers of development and strengthening of the defence system, as well as the improvement and development of the knowledge level of the society as a whole.

- The defence system recognizes the role of science in the process of development of defence capabilities, as well as the need to stimulate the most prominent individuals for the contribution they make. In the last year, significant steps were made in the affirmation of science in the defence system, and the direct result of the research work is the design of modern arms and military equipment, as well as their production, Neric said.
