Celebration of the Military Security Agency Day
Day of Military Security Agency and a great jubilee of 180 years of organised security protection of the armed forces were marked today by today’s celebration held in the building of the Old General Staff, which was attended by Envoy of the President of the Republic of Serbia and Supreme Commander of the Serbian Armed Forces Milorad Veljović, Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin and Chief of General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces General Milan Mojsilović.
Congratulating the holiday, Minister Vulin stated that the fatherland expected from the members of the Military Security Agency unconditional dedication, unconditional obedience and implementation of the orders of the Supreme Commander and state leadership, and that the state and armed forces expected from them to have confidence in their country and their people.
- It is better that they are afraid of you because you are capable of defending your country, than to be laughed at because you are not capable of doing it. It is better that they hate you because we protect our Serbia, than to love you because you have abandoned it or because you have given it away. The centuries behind us have taught us that, in difficult situations, we will eventually stay all alone - Minister Vulin said and added - it is exactly why in the most difficult moments we can rely solely on ourselves, and the mission of members of the Military Security Agency is to prepare the armed forces and the country for that moment, hoping that such moment would never come, while the state leadership does literally everything to prevent that moment from ever happening.On the occasion of marking the Day of Military Security Agency, the youngest member of the Military Security Agency presented a commemorative plaque of the Military Security Agency to Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin.
Upon Order of the minister of defence, on the occasion of the jubilee of 180 years of organised security protection of the armed forces, the Military Security Agency received the insignia of the Military Security Agency in the form of a flag.Day of the Military Security Agency - 12th November is marked in memory of the same date in 1839, when the Military Law was passed in the Principality of Serbia, which was the first legal act that systematically and for the first time comprehensively elaborated the forms of threats to security of armed forces as well as the issues of security protection of the armed forces.
