On 19 November 2020, the Defence and Internal Affairs Committee had a working meeting with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, Dr Nebojsa Stefanovic, at the Guard House at Topcider.


At the beginning of the meeting, the attending Committee members were presented the competencies, structure and status of the professional members of the Serbian Armed Forces.

In the course of the discussion, Minister Stefanovic highlighted the importance of equipping the Serbian Armed Forces with modern combat systems, as well as improving the standards and working conditions of the members of the Serbian Armed Forces. He also informed the Committee members on the current situation in the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Army, as well as the possibilities for improvement in the coming period.
