Commenting on the regional cooperation in this area, which is fuelled by distance learning, Major General Vuruna stressed that the aim of this meeting was to "initiate, strengthen and continue regional cooperation".
The results achieved in the process of improving the function of distance learning in the armed forces were addressed by Colonel Miroslav Italian, Chief of the National Defence School, representatives of distance learning centres in the Republic of Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Macedonia, as well as the Defence Attaché of the Kingdom of Norway in the Republic of Serbia, Commander Tore Anderson, whose country helped the realization of this idea by financial assistance.
