A New Issue of “ODBRANA” Was Issued



Goran  Matić PhD, Director of the Office of the Council for National Security and Protection of Classified Information in the Government of the Republic of Serbia, the author of the book “Political Offences – Assassination and Rebellion” published by the Media Centre “Odbrana”, in his interview for “Odbrana” says that without developed institutions and compromises between different social groups there cannot be any progress. And he points out: - You are doomed to repeat historical lessons, unrests and instability. The authority and rule of law is a necessity that cannot be escaped from in the modern states of the 21st century.

On the pages of the latest issue of our magazine you can read how the Criminal Investigation Group of the Military Police Department fights against uniformed crime. Its members, apart from their expertise, are adorned by team work as well. The life in the collective, a whole day long work, often unpredictable work risks, make them unique people ready for all situations.

In this issue of “Odbrana” we bring you more stories from the training areas. At the joint branches training area “Pasuljanske livade” the members pf the Mixed Artillery Brigade have conducted final live firing exercise in the framework of eight days long field training “Fire Jump 2017”. The members of River Flotilla executed a complex and dynamic tactical exercise named “Ečka 2017”, while the members of signal units also had their field training and a tactical exercise.

In “Odbrana” you can also read about Biljana Bradić, the best nurse in the MMA in 2016. And we also sought the answer to the question whether the food we eat is safe, from the newly established Food Safety Council which is going to ensure the protection of consumers by their preventive engagement. This topic is addressed in “Odbrana” by the Minister of Agriculture Branislav Nedimović, President of the National Consumer Organisation of Serbia, Goran Papović, and the President of the Centre of Serbian Consumers, Vida Vera. 

In the World column, find something more about how the world has been marking for years now the “Yuri’s Night” each 12th April - in memory of Yuri Gagarin’s flight in space. Paradoxically, at the height of the new Cold War, a few American scientists have decided not to care about being politically correct and to pay homage to the feat of the first man in cosmos.
