New issue of ODBRANA



A truth, depending on the angle we look at it from, can take on different forms. Njegos wrote long ago that the one on the hill can see more and farther than those below him. In an interview with General Ljubisa Dikovic, we tried to figure out whether the top management of the defence system views the problems and challenges like those at the bottom of the pyramid. Does the "first" soldier know the torments of the "last" one in the ranks and what does he do to make them easier? For the new issue of Odbrana magazine, on the occasion of the forthcoming of the Serbian Armed Forces Day, the Chief of General Staff, among other things, talks about geopolitics, regional security, the challenges of asymmetric threats embodied in more and more brutal terrorism and the lessons learned from the past that some tend to easily forget.
