Competitions for admission to Special Forces are now open



Based on the Decision by the President of the Republic and Supreme Commander of the Serbian Armed Forces Aleksandar Vučić, the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces launched an open competition today for the admission of new recruits to the 63rd Parachute Brigade, the 72nd Special Operations Brigade and the "Cobras" Special Operations MP Detachment.
  Young men and women, residents of the Republic of Serbia, up to 30 years of age, will have an opportunity to submit their applications for one of the Serbian Armed Forces’ elite units until March 31, 2023. Those who meet the general and specific eligibility requirements will undergo appropriate medical examinations and psychological assessment, followed by physical fitness tests.

Candidates who meet the strict medical, psychophysical and security eligibility criteria will be referred to selective training consisting of several elimination stages. The best candidates will be given the opportunity to join professional military service for a fixed period of six months with the possibility of extending their employment contract for a period of up to three years and its subsequent renewal.
 
What awaits the selected candidates is continuous training and improvement, state-of-the-art weapons and equipment, as well as a generous basic salary of about 200,000 dinars per month, which, depending on their degree of training and appointment, will increase considerably.
 
The duty station of future members of the 63rd Parachute Brigade will be Niš. The candidates who join the 72nd Special Operations Brigade will serve in the Pančevo garrison, and the future members of "Cobras" will work in Belgrade.
 
Candidates who have not completed military service under arms can apply for the competition. However, prior to selective training, they will have to successfully complete basic military training.
 
The Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces invite all interested candidates to demonstrate their sense of responsibility, readiness, courage and patriotism by serving their country as members of elite special units.
