The Military Medical Academy was founded in 1949 and the new MMA building on Banjica was completed in 1981.
The Day of Military Intelligence Agency is 5th March which is observed in memory of 1884, when Foreign Section was set up within Operational Division of the General Staff, which was the first time in the modern Serbian state that the military intelligence activity was institutionally organised.
