"I thanked the ministers who, at today's session of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, supported the proposal of a conclusion to establish a working group that will consider activities and measures aimed at activating the obligation to serve in the military. I pointed out that this is an important thing for Serbia, not only for the defense of the country, but also because it will strengthen young people's sense of responsibility and seriousness, which they will need for everything they encounter in civilian life. The cities and municipalities where the barracks are located will also benefit from mandatory military service, because those areas will grow economically and progress and develop even faster," the president announced on Instagram.
"I informed the Government of Serbia about yesterday's meeting in Brussels, as well as about the conversations I had regarding the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, and especially about the upcoming meetings I will have with world leaders, where the main topic will be precisely the position of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, as well as the measures we are taking in that sense. A special item on the agenda was energy, with an emphasis on the projects, potentials and plans of Serbia in all the aspects. I asked the members of the Government to coordinate all activities with the prime minister and the minister of finance, with the aim of greater efficiency and a comprehensive approach to one of the most important issues for the future of our country," said Vucic.
"Of course, we also talked about the threat of floods, we analyzed the situation and the measures we can take in this regard in order to preserve the lives and property of our citizens and reduce potential damage to a minimum. I especially emphasized that no one should underestimate the danger of this situation, appealing to all members of the Government to make extensive and quick preparations in order to protect the population," the president concluded.
