Address by Minister of Defence Besimi in Rome
14:36 GMT, July 18, 2012 “Lessons from history teach us that the periods of the economic crises are an opportunity for the appearance of new ideas that will enable us a more rational, more efficient and more effective use of resources that will produce significant results in the development of the defence capabilities”, stressed the Minister of Defence of the Republic of Macedonia, Fatmir Besimi, on the 29th International Workshop for Global Security, which is being held on Monday and Tuesday in the Italian capital, Rome.
At the same time, addressing the panel devoted to the global financial crises, illegal immigration and cyber security – lessions from the Balkans and the region of the Black Sea, Minister Besimi noted that the opinions of the states in the region go in the direction of how to apply the new NATO concept, called “smart defence”, in the regional level as well. In that context, the Minister mentioned the initiatives for the development of regional centres, such as the Military Range “Krivolak”, Regional Communications Training Centre and the Medical Training Centre, and also referred to the Balkan Regional Initiative for Air Defence, as the first step towards the development of regional capacities for air policing.
Regional cooperation, just as Minister Besimi stressed on the panel, is also reflected in the joint participation in the international peace missions, especially in the ISAF forces in Afghanistan.
Domestically, experiences and major achievements in the process of the transformation of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia were shared, as well as the goals for achieving 50 percent deployability and interoperability of the forces in international frames.
