Communique
The Ministry of Defence announces that the attempts to politicise the death of a member of Serbian Armed Forces, Master Sergeant Dejan Stojković, by certain politicians, who were joined today by President of Military Union Novica Antić, are utterly disgusting.
The Ministry of Defence did not communicate the cause of death of Dejan Stojković, since we left it to responsible institutions to determine the cause of death and to inform the public about it. We note, that the event was promptly reported to the responsible High Public Prosecutor’s Office in Novi Pazar.
Furthermore, immediately after the event, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Nebojša Stefanović PhD tasked the Defence Inspectorate to conduct an extraordinary inspection, while Chief of General Staff of Serbian Armed Forces General Milan Mojsilović ordered a commission to be established to determine possible responsibility of the military organisation.
If any omissions should be identified, all responsible individuals will face the strictest sanctions, while all speculations, until the cause of the death of Master Sergeant Dejan Stojković is determined, are at the very least improper and intended for cheap gathering of political points where there is not a shred of piety for the deceased and his family, and not a trace of military honour that some allude to.
