Commandant of the Sector East and the base “Miguel de Cervantes“, General Del Pozo, has told us today that if every subsequent unit of the Serbian Armed Forces performs its tasks at this level they will have the best partner – said Captain Todorović – All the tasks were performed to the advantage of the Serbian Armed Forces and the Republic of Serbia, while the experiences from multinational operation in Lebanon are very positive. Simply the task was done without single failure in the work“.
