"The direction of transformation is part of the vision of the Serbian army, which must be able to respond to the security challenges that Serbia will face in 2015 and beyond. And these are security challenges that will not start at the Serbian borders and that require much more complex answers than the individual military power of Serbia", he concluded his report. Zdravko Ponoš, then Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, at the meeting of the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense in 2007
The report also states the following: "Self-deception about combat capabilities, based on the number of brigades that are unable to be launched and years of lamenting that the army would be better if only it had more money, is not an approach by which the army justifies its existence and instills confidence in the citizens of Serbia." .
"We had a number of brigades that were brigades on paper. We had lieutenant colonels and colonels in command, but no soldiers in the unit."
"We don't need patriotism as a call to death, but as a call to victory." And the call to victory must be based on real and solid supports, which are, above all, education, training, professionalism."

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
