CIMIC projects of Serbian Armed Forces
The SAF units participating in the active phase of Joint Exercise Manoeuvres 2022 have carried out a number of CIMIC projects in their AOR over the last few days.
These projects, aiming to build mutual confidence and create better living conditions for the citizens of Serbia, have included medical assistance to the population and engineer works in remote Serbian villages. In cooperation with the Red Cross, local primary-care centres and city administration, military physicians and medical technicians have provided medical assistance to the residents of villages in the vicinity of Novi Sad, Sremska Mitrovica, Sjenica, Raška, Kuršumija and Bujanovac. They have performed over 200 preventative medical check-ups in rural clinics and made home visits to persons suffering from reduced mobility and immobility.
Concurrently, the 2nd Army Brigade Engineer Task Force has performed road reconstruction works in the villages of Buđevo and Raždaginja on the Pešter Plateau and created conditions for supplying drinking water for livestock, since the drought has caused serious problems for residents of this part of the country in recent years.
As usual, SAF members were warmly welcomed by the citizens who expressed their gratitude for the assistance, pointing out that it was the SAF that they trusted the most because they proved reliable on multiple occasions when people were in need.
