Defense ministers of Serbia, Bosnia, want better ties

BELGRADE Serbian Defense Minister Nebojsa Rodic and his Bosnian counterpart Zekerijah Osmic say there is "room for improvement of military-economic cooperation." At a meeting in Belgrade on Thursday, Rodic and Osmic expressed satisfaction with the cooperation conducted so far in the defence sector, stating that there is ground for further improvement, the Serbian Ministry of Defense said. Defense ministers of Serbia, Bosnia, want better ties Rodic underscored that the exchange of experiences and engagement of teachers in national training centres in Belgrade and Butmir would create better basis for potential joint engagement in peacekeeping missions under the EU and UN auspices. He underscored the willingness to discuss the possibility of realization of joint simulation or field military exercises, both on the bilateral basis and with participation of neighboring armies in the region. Four members of Bosnia-Herzegovina armed forces are currently attending the military educational institutions in Serbia and this mode of cooperation should be intensified, including the education of members of the Defense Ministry and Bosnian Armed Forces in the ABHO Centeer in Krusevac and members of the Defense Ministry and Serbian Armed Forces in the Center for Training for Participation in Peacekeeping Missions Butmir. During the two-day visit to Serbia, Osmic will visit the University of Defense and the Military Medical Academy. (Tanjug) Tanjug
