"You truly deserve this decoration, because since you became the minister of defense, we have made several steps and progress in the development of our militar and especially military-technical cooperation," said Ambassador Botsan-Kharchenko.
Minister Stefanovic thanked the Russian Ambassador and Russian state company Rostec representative Aleksandr Vosmirk, for this honor and special recognition.
"For me, this medal is another confirmation of the strong Russian-Serbian friendship and a symbol of our successful military-technical and other forms of cooperation. I am glad that, at least in small part, in addition to President Vucic, I was able to contribute to its progress. All systems from the Russian Federation which arrived this and which will arrive in the coming years, also confirm the closeness of our relations, but also show that our army is being modernized," said Minister Stefanovic.
On this occasion he also thanked the ambassador for helping the anti-tank systems Cornet, as agreed by President Vucic and President Putin, arrive in Serbia before the New Year.
