Celebration of Day of Serbian Armed Forces Guard
Today, a military ceremony was held at the “Dedinje” Barracks in Belgrade to mark the Day of the Serbian Armed Forces Guard which is celebrated in memory of 6th May 1830, when the first Serbian guard unit was formed in Požarevac.
The ceremony has been attended by Deputy Chief of the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff Lieutenant General Želimir Glišović, representatives of the organizational units of the Ministry of Defence and Serbian Armed Forces and numerous guests.
Congratulating the members of the Guard, General Glišović said that this unit represented an important pillar of the entire defence system, having in mind a large number of tasks it performs.
- Looking at this formation and knowing what our armed forces have at their disposal, I am confident that even in the times brimming with challenges for our fatherland Serbia, the Serbian Armed Forces will remain strong and reliable armed force that can raise to every assigned task - underlined General Glišović.
As part of today’s ceremony, a parade of Guard units was held and awards were presented to the most successful individuals, while yesterday, on the occasion of the holiday, wreaths were laid at the monument to Prince Miloš Obrenović in Požarevac, by whose order the Gvardija was established 194 years ago.
