New issue of ODBRANA

Military intelligence officer is primarily a patriot. Today he must be knowledgeable and an expert not only in the field of security and international relations, but he must have a general knowledge about the culture, customs and the efforts of other entities in the neighbourhood. He must be trained to recognize in the sea of information that are now largely available the real threats and their holders, set priorities to separate the important from the unimportant and be honest in his behaviour and intentions, Brigadier General Slavoljub Dabic, Director of Military Intelligence Agency says in his interview to Odbrana.

How the MMA solves the problem of shortages of medicines and disposable medical supplies, how they take care of specific military medical personnel, what they did last year, what they will do this year and what are their plans, these are questions that we are opening in the coming 172nd year of existence of this institution. What is the life and work of the 310th anti-aircraft self-propelled rocket battalion in Kragujevac and what distinguishes the life story of Captain Damir Projovic and his wife Ivana – you can read it in the new issue of Odbrana.
