New issue of “ODBRANA”
The April issue of "Odbrana" magazine features an interview with Major General Tiosav Janković, Head of the Operations Department (J-3) of the General Staff, on the occasion of the upcoming Serbian Armed Forces Day.
We have visited members of the Serbian Armed Forces units and written about them. The articles about the Special Purpose MP Detachment "Kobre" and the 37th Mechanized Battalion of the Third Army Brigade are featured in the System section. We have spoken to senior non-commissioned officers, instructors and trainees attending the Non-Commissioned Officer Course at the Logistics Training Centre in Kruševac and watched the training conducted by the 21st Infantry Battalion of the Second Brigade.The magazine also features a story about Igor Havran and Miljana Kostić, violinists at the MOD’s Artistic Ensemble “Stanislav Binički”, who in early March started their professional training as reserve officers at the Defence University.
After the signing of a protocol on cooperation between the Ministry of Defence and Matica Srpska, our magazine conducted an interview with Prof. Dragan Stanić, president of Matica Srpska, the oldest Serbian literary, cultural and scientific institution, which you can find in our Interview with a Cause section.
The History section contains an extensive text about conscription in the Army of the Kingdom of Serbia.
The magazine also contains an account of the international conference titled "From Aggression to a New Legal Order", which was held on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the NATO aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The two-day conference brought together representatives of more than twenty countries.
The Culture section is dedicated to the exhibition "Serbian Heroines of the Great War" at the Central Military Club in Belgrade, which was opened by the wife of the President of the Republic, Tamara Vučić.
You can also read our account of the event that took place on December 22, when members of the Military Technical Institute, who were on their way to the "Nikinci" Weapons and Military Equipment Test Centre, rescued three people trapped in a car, which had run off the road into a canal.
