"The outgoing 2012 will be remembered as the year in which we fulfilled the set goals and made a step towards achieving the standards in the field of defence.
By increasing participation in multinational operations, performing exercises in the country and abroad and helping the citizens of Serbia, we have justified the good reputation of the Army of Serbia and confirmed that we can successfully meet threats and challenges.
In the upcoming year, we will need a lot of strength, will and determination to respond to all challenges together with citizens.
I wish you a happy New Year and a lot of success in your further work, and that you share the joy of the holiday festivities in good health, happiness and pleasure with your loved ones," reads the letter of greetings of the First Deputy Prime Minister.
