New issue of ODBRANA
Aware of the fact that the acquisition of new vessels will have to wait for better days, members of the Riverine Flotilla daily do their very best to combat challenges and threats on the “blue path” with the existing capacities. Also, they selflessly transfer their rich experience and acquired knowledge to their younger colleagues, who will continue the 100-year-long tradition of managing our waterways. The members of the riverine units will celebrate this year’s jubilee in new uniforms, which will alleviate their everyday duties – Commander of the Riverine Flotilla said for Odbrana of 1 August. In the latest issue no. 237, you can also read about the interests of Balkan countries to create new integrative organizations, about the training of reconnaissance members during the summer, and the role of military journalists in the prevention of conflicts.
