- I am glad that the equipment we have procured from French and Israeli manufacturers, with whom we have excellent cooperation, is well used, that there is great potential for interoperable use and that young people who are being trained here are highly motivated and know what they are doing - said Minister Stefanović.
The Minister of Defence thanked the members of the Training Command, saying that what they are doing is not easy.
- With their hard work, great effort and procurement of state-of-the-art equipment for our armed forces, I am convinced that our telecommunications officers, or “signalmen” in slang, will continue to be our armed forces’ elite – said Minister Stefanović.
