Speaking at a ceremony held to mark Gendarmerie Day, Dacic emphasised that Serbian police units play a special role in the fight against all forms of crime, terrorism and corruption and for helping people in emergencies.

The Serbian people must know that the police guarantee peace and safety and that Serbia must be a country in which everyone may live freely without facing any kind of threat, Dacic stressed.

From the day it was established the police force and the Gendarmerie have defended Serbia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, highlighted Dacic, adding that Serbia wishes to resolve all problems peacefully through dialogue but this does not imply weakness.

Serbia has the strength to defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty and any attempt at breaking up the country will be dealt with seriously, he pointed out.

Just as any other country in the world, Serbia will defend its territorial integrity and sovereignty and the lives of its citizens, regardless of their political, ethnic or religious background, Dacic declared.

Commandant of the Gendarmerie Bratislav Dikic said that members of the Gendarmerie are known for carrying out the most dangerous of tasks since the times of the Turkish Empire up until today.

The Gendarmerie has evolved with time by keeping up with modern trends, noted Dikic.

Outstanding members of the Gendarmerie were presented with plaques and certificates of recognition at the ceremony. Later, an exercise was held in which members of the unit displayed their skills to an audience of a large number of people, representatives of the diplomatic corps and the Serbian Army, and prominent personalities.

They demonstrated their high level of proficiency in resolving hostage situations, parachuting and apprehending criminals in various lifelike situations.
