We are especially pleased by the fact that about four hundred works arrived to the open fine art and literary competition on the topic of Serbian Armed Forces. The most successful ones were awarded diplomas and gifts. I would stress that all members of the storage facility have invested considerable efforts in preparing this campaign because we believe that this is one of the most beautiful tasks that members of the Serbian Armed Forces perform", Major Katanic said.
