The ministries of defence, and of education and sport have made a bill that proposes inclusion of the higher military education into the Law on higher education of Serbia.

A study programme for obtaining a common degree of the Military Academy and the Faculty of Security has started to be applied, with which the Military Academy has been included into the system of the Belgrade University, Stankovic explained and added that the concept of studies is harmonised with the Bologna declaration.
