A contract soldier is on average 30-35 years old, graduated high school, serves in the place where he lives, lives mostly with his parents (his wife's or his own) because his income does not allow him to rent an apartment. Buying an apartment on credit is a mental noun for him since he does not have a permanent job. That soldier is silent and suffers, does what he is told and prays to God to have that "turnus" in shifts: he works 12 hours, then he is 24 hours off, then again 12 hours at the workplace at night, then 48 hours off. Why? For the simple reason that he then has time for additional work - in agriculture, as a wage earner in construction, an assistant in craft work...

Four members of the Gendarmerie were received by then Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić during the 2014 Pride Parade. The reason: the fact that they used force against his brother Andrej, Sinisa Mali's brother - Predrag, and two Cobra members. Also present were Milenko Božović, Gendarmerie commander, Senad Koštić, commander of the detachment from Niš, and his deputy, Nebojša Anđelković. "Anđelković was explaining to Vučić what happened, and the atmosphere seemed relaxed," one of the four gendarmes told Vreme. "Vučić said that there was a misunderstanding and advised us: 'Meet tomorrow for a drink - probably with two Cobra members - reconcile and end it.'"
"I know from experience - it is not possible to train a tank driver for engagement in combat in three months. All those who advocate it should sit in a tank, a confined space, and see what it's like when the first shell is fired, that feeling in the ears and brain, a kind of contusion. And that on training ground conditions, and imagine in battle, where you expect to be hit by a projectile like "zolja" or these modern devices. And you don't have infantry protection, because it has retreated. The same is true for all other branches, from infantry onwards"
