New issue of ODBRANA
Although words cannot accurately convey how fighters from Košare regarded their lives as secondary in priority, in the spring of the war year 1999, defending the sanctity behind them from the invasion of terrorists, mercenaries, Albanian soldiers and soldiers of the Alliance, seventeen years later, former commander of all units in this region, retired Colonel Ljubinko Djurkovic tells for Odbrana magazine the story about dramatic struggles of our heroes, their heroism and sacrifice.
We recommend to your attention the theme of the issue, dedicated to the current moment of the Serbian-Chinese relations. Although the 22 signed documents during the visit of Chinese President to Serbia, and another six at the recent summit in Riga, are a huge leap in relations between the two countries, there is still big and hard work before Serbia regarding the development of relations with the powerful China. The question is how to increase exports to that country and not to become dependent on Chinese capital, but keep the path to the EU, which is in a quiet conflict with China over steel and economy, and has a problem of Bregzit and the uncertain future
Serbian secrets are targeted by spies. Despite the technological revolution, foreign intelligence services do not give up the 'agent' mode of work, which involves the recruitment of agents with political influence to undermine or create internal or external policy of the state which they investigate through intelligence work. You can read about the ways in which this secretive industry works in the text entitled Key called ‘the holder of secrets’.
