Dear colleagues,

We are on the eve of Christmas and New Year!

Great is the sacrament of the Nativity! All of us deeply keep in our hearts and look forward to this blessed Christian feast! Traditionally at Christmas we return to the coziness and the warmth of the family hearth and gather with our closest and dearest people!

The meeting of the New Year it`s a time for the reckoning of the past and hope for the future. All of us, from the Defence Institute, are sending out a tough, but successful 2019 year, a year full of dynamics and challenges! I believe, the 2020 will be better for us and our families!

Dear colleagues and friends!

In the days, when we will celebrate the Nativity with great joy and we will welcome the New 2020 year, I wholeheartedly wish to all of you health, prosperity, personal and family happiness, many life joys and professional successes!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Director of the Defence Institute
