I am glad to see that the employees of "Zastava Film" and the Public Relations Department are thinking about how we can improve their work, how we can improve everything that makes this institution so great and how to continue engaging in film activities in the future - Minister Stefanović pointed out.He noted that "Zastava Film" also made educational films that helped our children learn about our history, tradition, and the glory that the army had won for our country.

I will do everything I can to provide this house with adequate premises and equipment through upcoming projects, and to jointly build a new system that will help our children get the best quality films about the military, about our military technology and all the equipment that the armed forces are purchasing, and about the reasons why it is such a powerful guarantor of our country’s stability. Of course, we also want to help all other citizens get an insight into what "Zastava Film" does, what it films, and remind them of some films that won prestigious awards around world and we hope they will continue with such a tradition in the future - said Minister Stefanović.At the end of today's visit, on behalf of the Military Film Centre’s staff, the director of "Zastava Film", Lieutenant Colonel Ikonić, presented Minister Stefanović with one of the Centre’s exhibits - a filmstrip with a dedication.
