What is very important and what we must all do together, every day, without exception, during the whole working life is to keep the policy as far away from the army ranks as possible. You must serve the state, regardless of the political parties in power and regardless of your personal and political beliefs. Because that is the foundation of any professional army, politics must be outside the military, said Commander-in-Chief and President Stevo Pendarovski at a ceremony to promote new officers – lieutenants of the 21st class and the oath of the 25th class of cadets of Military Academy “General Mihailo Apostolski”.

Pendarovski stressed that this is a great day for all those who are promoted to lieutenants. He emphasized that the rank of officer means honor, dignity and responsibility to the Army and to the homeland.

– We expect you to bring new energy, new knowledge and skills to the structures of the Army and to transfer everything you have learned in the past four years to the commands and units, which will contribute to strengthening the combat readiness and morale of the Army. said Pendarovski.

The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Defense Radmila Sekerinska, the Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Vasko Gjurcinovski and other senior guests from the Ministry and the Army.
