The meeting started a little after 08:00 in the building of the General Staff of the Serbian Army in the Banjica 2 Barracks in Belgrade, and lasted about two hours.

"(We discussed) the state of our military power, defense potentials, defense capacities, and I would say the capacities that we are still planning to acquire so that we can further improve those capabilities. Today, as the commander-in-chief of the Serbian Army, I proposed developing and adopting a robotization strategy, forming a battalion-level unit equipped with robotic platforms, carrying out organizational preparations for the formation of divisions and battalions using long-range attack drones and loitering munition, training special reconnaissance units that determine target coordinates to guide artillery and aircraft fire, further equipping and training (personnel) to use of drones in other units, and I would say I presented historical lessons from our officer. Many of them are legendary commanders from the time of the NATO aggression, there are also many young people who have learned from them and from others," said Vucic.

"The digitization and robotization of our army, I told the officers to participate in that with enthusiasm," he added.

"The security situation is more complex than in January, primarily due to the actions of the triple alliance (Albania, Croatia, Pristina). In the coming days, we will sign big and important contracts to buy weapons and military equipment, we are expecting big and important visits, we've made large orders for our army, the units are filled with soldiers and supplied with weapons like never before, I am never satisfied, but progress is evident," the president said.

"Nothing will slide past us, we will see everything, we will have a strong air defense," Vucic said.
