Negotiations and peace - who doesn't care? We are talking about the implementation of security strategies and plans that are in force, about which the citizens of Serbia know almost nothing, because it is hidden from them in official addresses and controlled media. And Serbia, its defense and security forces and the Serbian Army, is implementing its reform according to NATO standards. And participates in joint projects, missions, exercises, trainings. Is membership in the EU a prerequisite for membership in NATO? Or is political and military neutrality the right way?
