Zeman opens Czech-Serbian military cooperation exhibition
"I am opening this exhibition in remembrance of courage and at the same time as a warning that we do not live in a safe world today, and that what we most need are brave men," Zeman said while opening the exhibition in the presence of Serbian Defense Minister Nebojša Rodić late on Tuesday.On display are a few dozen pictures showing military exercises carried out jointly by the former Yugoslav and Czechoslovakian armies, which show many Serbian generals wearing the Order of the White Lion, Czechoslovakia's highest decoration, the Czech president said.
Drawing a comparison between the former and contemporary enemies, Zeman said that the enemy of today is international terrorism and that its most apparent form is Islamic fundamentalism, cautioning that the world would be wise not to underestimate the danger.
Zeman then signed the guestbook, where he expressed "respect for the courage of Serbian soldiers."
The head of Belgrade's Military Museum, Lt. Col. Ivan Mijatović, and Col. Aleš Knižzek, director of the Military History Institute in Prague, said that the exhibition illustrates a century and a half of military cooperation between the Czech Republic and Serbia.
"We are linked by one hundred years of mutual relations. Our ancestors fought in both World War One and World War Two. In the first war they won and obtained two independent states and in the second, they defeated German fascism," Knižek said.
The opening of the exhibition, organized by the Museum of Military History in Prague and the Military Museum in Belgrade, was also attended by Chief of General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, Lt. Gen. Ljubiša Diković, numerous military officials and representatives of the diplomatic corps.
Zeman arrived on a two- day visit to Serbia on Thursday, and had separate meetings with President Tomislav Nikolić and Prime Minister Ivica Dačić on the same day. Later on Thursday, he laid a wreath at the Monument to the Unknown Hero on Mount Avala near Belgrade, dedicated to the soldiers fallen in the Balkan Wars and World War One between 1912 and 1918.
