On Thursday, President Siljanovska Davkova, in the capacity of Commander in Chief, visited Alekso Demnievski – Bauman Barracks. Instead of the traditional donation of appliances, she gifted around 100 books to Army members.
“Books are my life, there’s no greater friend than a book”, Siljanovska Davkova stressed.
She also said the Army Home in Skopje, home to the military library, would be reconstructed. According to her, the Army has the highest level of trust among citizens precisely because of the respect for order.
The Commander in Chief also addressed the 300 new professional soldiers that will take the formal oath in mid-January.
During the visit, she said she expected for the country to develop, continue the reform process in multiple areas to avoid systemic weaknesses, as well as for there to be work on the rule of law and investing in education, science, and culture.
The President added that her wish was for the country to finally make a step forward towards the EU, “our natural destination”.
