Sutanovac: Trust restored in army He said that he is thankful that the process of the professionalization of the army is almost finished, and the fact that many are interested in joining. Sutanovac said that this is a sign that the army has once again gained the trust of the people. The Defense Minister said that without respecting the traditions of old, there can be no modernization of the army, adding that the Serbian Army has three missions to fulfill—to defend the country, help civilians, and participate in peacekeeping operations. “We want to do this job as the pride of the Serbian citizens, and especially the parents, who trusted us with training and schooling their children,” Sutanovac said, calling on officers and those of higher rank to treat the young soldiers as if they were their own children.
