Aleksandar Vulin
Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin and Serbian Armed Forces Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Petar Cvetkovic on Feb. 26 sent off the 10th contingent of the army on a U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic, which differs from all the previous ones by the fact that throughout its engagement the unit will perform its tasks as independent and self-sustainable, i.e. as an independent military hospital.
Seventy-two members of the Serbian Armed Forces will soon go to the Central African Republic, where they will spend the next six months providing medical care to forces in the U.N. operation.
Vulin told the army members that even though they would be wearing the U.N.'s blue berets, they would represent Serbia and its army in every way and that they must never forget that.
The Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces are currently involved in nine U.N. and EU multinational operations worldwide, with 292 Serbian peacekeepers engaged on those tasks.
