On this occasion, a Mi-17 helicopter flight was also organized for them.
The Military Gymnasium is an educational institution founded in 1970, with the main task of preparing students for continuing education at the Military Academy, contributing to the formation and development of motivation, ethical personality traits, intellectual and psycho-physical abilities necessary for the vocation of the Serbian Armed Forces officer.
