The demonstration was observed by Brigadier General Jovica Matic, Commander, 1st Army Brigade of the Serbian armed forces and Colonel István Hattyár, Commander, Hungarian Defence Forces 30th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. Both spoke highly of the cooperation, which also showed itself during the Live Fire Tactical Training (LFTT) phase.
Supporting its neighbours’ integration into Europe is one of the important fundamental principles of Hungary’s security policy. As part of it, the cooperation between the Serbian and the Hungarian armed forces has been going on since 2010 on different levels in various forms.
