Deputy Chief of the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff, Lieutenant General Petar Cvetković, paid an official visit to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, at the invitation of the Deputy Chief of Defence Staff of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Timothy Fraser.
Yesterday, General Cvetković met with Admiral Fraser at the Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom, with whom he discussed the current security situation in Europe and the region, bilateral military cooperation and possibilities for its improvement, as well as experiences in engaging in suppressing and preventing the spread of Covid-19.
It was assessed that the military-military cooperation was intensive and eventful, and the joint participation in the exercises and in the United Nations peacekeeping operation in Cyprus, in which the military police section from the Serbian Armed Forces is deployed within the British contingent, was especially emphasized.
During his stay in Great Britain, General Cvetković also visited the Sixth (United Kingdom) Division, where he was introduced to the mission, tasks and purpose of this unit of the British Army by Commander, Major General Gerald Strickland.
