According to him, these future officers have opted for interesting programmes of study.– Here in Sombor, we have future military engineers, military pilots, and military finance officers. I have talked to them and from what I can gather, they are firmly determined to be part of our military, to become officers in four years’ time and join the ranks of the most courageous people in the country. I expect a lot from them, I expect them to be good pilots, engineers, officers, but above all, I expect them to be good people. I wish them the best of luck and I hope that their first days in the military will pass quickly, and that, after four years’ training and acquiring knowledge and skills at the Military Academy, they will be the foundation of the future development of our military - said Stefanović.
