“The goal of this exercise, this play, was mostly directed toward domestic public opinion. The army is strong if it has people who know how to handle equipment, especially if we're talking about equipment that was procured either from Russia or China, if it is professional and depoliticized - that is, it is not instrumentalized by politicians and political parties. On the other hand, the priorities of the citizens of Serbia are to have clean water and clean air, better health, [and] higher employment.”

“Anytime that Serbia is parading military equipment, this is always something that will make a lot of people very nervous, given the past. It's a very good opportunity for people in other countries who don't view Serbia in a particularly positive light to then use this as a chance to point the finger and say, 'Look, they haven't changed, they're still as militaristic as they were in the past. This is all about trying to flex their muscles and show their neighbors that they're still able to take back territory, and that's what they want'.”
