According to General Vuruna, significant resources were appropriated in last several years for the Ministry of Defence, chiefly for the segment of development of arms and military equipment and Serbian defence industry.

“Industry 4.0” is a new model of automation which has become famous worldwide and implies new generation of digitalised factories.
