Over 1000 members of the Army were awarded monetary incentives, awards leaves or commendations for their professionalism and success in dealing with fires. But the awards were not the motive for the courage and sacrifice of the members of the Army, but their word in the service to the state and the citizens – said Shekerinska.
Besides the Minister of Defense, Radmila Shekerinska, the Deputy Minister of Defense, Bashkim Hasani, the Deputy Chief of General Staff, Major General Azim Nuredin and the State Secretary at the Ministry of Defense, Dragan Nikolic all attended the ceremony.
