Professors and students of Higher Education Institution for applied studies for Entrepreneurship visit exhibition ‘Defence 78’
Professors and students of the Higher Education Institution for applied studies for Entrepreneurship visited the exhibition of the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces ‘Defence 78’, dedicated to marking 20 years since the NATO aggression, in the Museum of the City of Belgrade. They were led through the exhibition by Colonel Duško Šljivančanin, head of the Department for Tradition, Standard and Veterans.
Assistant director of the Higher Education Institution for applied studies for Entrepreneurship, Milovan Dimić, PhD, said that he was very much touched by the exhibition ‘Defence 78’. He said that the strongest impression on him was left by the exhibition space containing photographs of children who were killed and whose numbers he was not aware of until now.
Speaking about the impressions after the exhibition, a third-year student Milica Marković said that each room left an extremely strong impression on her because many of her classmates had died in the 1999 war.
- Such a terrorist act against our people caused suffering of children and civilians, and the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces made a great success with this exhibition, because everyone who comes to our country can see and experience all of this, enter the room with a sad black tree with children’s pictures, parts of their clothes and shoes and t feel at least somewhere in themselves how much we have suffered – Milica said.
According to first-year student Nemanja Mandić, the exhibition depicts a true picture of how our fighters died on the battlefield and children during the aggression, which left a strong impression on him as a parent. He invited everyone to visit the exhibition to find out the truth about the aggression against our country that lasted 78 days.
The multimedia and interactive exhibition ‘Defence 78’, by Dušan Jović, uniquely depicts the country's heroic defence during 78 days of NATO aggression and is dedicated to casualties of the military, police and civilians.
The exhibition setup is divided into eight sections, and the exhibits, including parts of the downed American “invisible” F-117A and F-16 aircraft, personal items and photographs of soldiers and police officers, who fought for the freedom of their homeland, are original.
