As part of his official visit to the Kingdom of Spain, the Chief of the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff, General Milan Mojsilović, together with the Chief of the Defence Staff of that country, Admiral Teodoro López Calderón, visited today the Joint Operations Command of the Spanish Armed Forces.
During the visit to this command at the Retamarez base, General Mojsilović and Admiral Calderón spoke via video conference with the commander of the Spanish contingent and the Sector East in the United Nations peacekeeping operation in Lebanon — where majority of the Serbian peacekeeping contingent is deployed — and with the Serbian Armed Forces senior national representative in this operation.
On that occasion, the Spanish and Serbian officers reported that they had excellent cooperation in the field, that they behaved as one family in very difficult conditions and that they were committed to performing the tasks assigned to them.
General Mojsilović asked the most responsible officers in the Serbian and Spanish contingents to do everything to protect the deployed members of the peacekeeping forces, and from the members of the Serbian Armed Forces to carry out their tasks professionally, responsibly and with dignity, in accordance with the uniform they wear.
The Chief of the General Staff then visited the Getafe Air Base, where he was presented with the capabilities and capacities of the 35th Wing, as well as aircraft maintenance and training for air transport operations.
Assessing the visit to the Kingdom of Spain as very successful, the Chief of the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff expressed his belief that it would give a new incentive to the improvement of the already developed and substantial military-military cooperation in all areas of mutual interest and that it would strengthen the bond between our countries and peoples.
