On that occasion, Minister Gašić said that infrastructure was one of priority areas in the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces, along with equipping the armed forces with state-of-the-art weapons and military equipment.

- With the firm support of our state leadership, President Vučić and the Serbian Government, the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces will continue to provide our service members with the best possible working and living conditions. We will continue to invest in the reconstruction of existing and construction of new facilities, to equip and strengthen our military, because only a strong military can be the guarantor of our safety and the guarantor of a strong and carefree Serbia - said Minister Gašić.
