Congratulatory message from the Minister of Defence on the occasion of the Day of the Air Force and Air Defense




I extend sincere congratulations to all Air Force and Air Defense members on 24 December – Day of the branch.

On a day when you celebrate more than a century of existence, we must emphasize that by constantly improving and modernizing the Air Force and Air Defense forces, professionally completing the tasks before you, you have reached outstanding levels, and by participating in international exercises you have demonstrated that our Air Force and Air Defense units are among the best not only in the region, but beyond.

Your greatest value is the people and their knowledge. Members of the Air Force and Air Defense are undoubtedly characterized by a dignified poise in the military service and an unwavering determination to protect and defend our homeland at all costs.

I assure you that over the coming period, with the wholehearted support of the state, we will continue to modernize and equip the Air Force and Air Defense units, making the skies secure and our citizens safe.

With the desire for you to remain being an active element in both the reorganization of the Armed Forces and new security developments in the country and the region, I congratulate you on the holiday.
