Sutanovac and Salamatin also looked at the defence system reform, regional cooperation and cooperation with the EU, as well as the improvement of their military-technical cooperation.

Sutanovac observed that there is a mutual need to train units in both Serbia and Ukraine, to organise joint trainings and exercises, as well as mutual interest in cooperation in military education.
The Minister recalled that a mixed committee for military-technical cooperation was formed and will soon hold its third session, noting that the two states already cooperate in the field of weapons and military equipment overhaul.
