He thanked the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces for organizing the display, saying that everything that could be seen belonged to our people.
— I am happiest when I see that people can enter our helicopters. They should not be afraid of them, but others should — the President of the Republic pointed out and added that such events should be organized more often.
— I am also grateful to our dedicated factories. Yesterday, people did not notice the 11 "Pasars" that came out of our factory, which is very encouraging. Congratulations to both you and our factories — said President Vučić.
