Minister Vulin opens International Conference on Cyber Security
Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin has opened today the 10th International Scientific Conference on Freedom and security in real space and cyberspace in the Belgrade Central Military Club.
Addressing the audience, Minister Vulin, pointed out that this scientific gathering is an opportunity to become familiar with the phenomenon that we know very little about, because cyber space and cyber threats are something completely new both in terms of security and in terms of determining our lives.
- There was nothing besides this terrible lie, but nobody has been held accountable for that lie and nobody was able to go a step back and return those 18 Serbs who were killed, five thousand Serbs who were expelled, dozens of churches and monasteries that were burned, back in time before that lie was said. So, then, what is the truth and should anyone search for it. It is up to us to learn how to recognize a lie before it causes consequences, not to talk about them after the consequences are irreparable - Minister Vulin emphasised.It is up to us, he added, to warn of what is going on in the real world before this virtual world determines what life will be like and what our events will be like.
- It is up to us, in this real world, this only world we have, the world we share, to determine the ways and rules of how we will manage to warn and to prevent before this world becomes unbearable for life. That is how I perceive your role and the reason for your gathering, and I ask you for answers so that we can be step ahead of the lies and how to make sure that what is happening around us is not something that will endanger the security and freedom of everyone. Freedom is not shoreless; although freedom is a value that is limited by another's freedom, it cannot be restricted by others' interests - Minister Vulin said, concluding that the shoreless freedom we feel on the Internet does not give us freedom to make this world fake.
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Prof. Vladimir Marinković, thanked Minister Vulin and the Ministry of Defence for their readiness to always support such initiatives and an open discussion of relevant social factors in the area of security challenges.The conference, through the participation of various actors, eminent professors and experts from Serbia and abroad, strives to contribute to the establishment and development of new rules of conduct in cyberspace at the national level and to define the fight against all kinds of its misuse in accordance with generally accepted international and European standards.
The Ministry of Defence is the general sponsor of this international scientific conference, which was attended by experts from Russia, Italy, Bulgaria, Republika Srpska, Bosna and Herzegovina and Macedonia.
