Minister Vučević Meets Future Defence Attachés
Today, in the Guard Club in Belgrade, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Miloš Vučević had a meeting with officers of the Military Intelligence Agency who will in the forthcoming period assume duties of Defence Attachés or Assistant Defence Attachés of the Republic of Serbia in the United States of America, China, United Kingdom, Belarus, Israel, Egypt, Hungary, Azerbaijan, North Macedonia and Montenegro.
To new defence attachés, Minister Vučević said to worthily represent their country, and protect its interests, and be dedicated to the development of cooperation in the field of defence and security with the receiving states. He familiarised them with the priorities of defence policy and focal tasks within the bilateral military cooperation with each of the receiving states.
