It is up to us to allow them to show their knowledge and qualities, he said, expressing belief that next year students of the Academy will have even better working conditions.In 2013, the Serbian Government made a decision on the establishment of the Academy for National Security as a higher education institution of national importance, which since then has been educating part of the BIA staff.
