Greetings on the Infantry Day
I extend to all members of the infantry my best wishes as they celebrate 16th November – the Day of the branch.
Thanks to your expertise and competence, you are managing, in modern and totally new conditions of work, to build and maintain the superior level of operational capabilities and to functionally meet the purposes and tasks of the branch, continuing the tradition of the heroes of the Battle of Kolubara which is more than a hundred years long.
I am sure that in the forthcoming period you will raise the capability level of your elements to an even higher level, thus contributing to the overall development of the Army. Wishing you to succeed in that, I congratulate you on your holiday.
Greetings on the Army Day
I extend to all members of the Army my best wishes as they celebrate 16th November – the Day of the service branch.
Continuing more than a century long tradition of the Serbian Armed Forces and the heroes of Kolubara, in the year marking a historically significant jubilee for the Serbian nation and the Armed Forces – the First World War, despite the difficult conditions in which you work, the units of the Army accomplished this year a number of set tasks, attained very good results in training and education and managed to maintain the required level of operational capabilities.
Successfully executing your regular and extraordinary tasks in the Ground Safety Zone and on the protection of a part of the state border, you are showing a high level of competence and professionalism, thus contributing to building the reputation of the Serbian Armed Forces and the Republic of Serbia as a whole. Also, you manage, in line with the objective possibilities, to equip your units with modern arms and military equipment.
I congratulate you on holiday, wishing you all success and being confident that you will continue to carry out the assigned tasks professionally in the forthcoming period thus contributing to the affirmation of the service branch as a whole.
