- Today, as we celebrate the most joyous Christian holiday – Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, and the love for our neighbours, my heart fills with happiness to see such a large family, with love radiating from parents and children, brothers and sisters. The family is the pillar of a strong society and a strong state. Therefore, the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces will continue taking care of all its members, working to improve their living standards and create even better living and working conditions for them - emphasized Minister Gašić.
