According to the daily “Vecernje Novosti”, he claimed it was an honor to teach at the academy.

I never hid during NATO's (1999) aggression and am not hiding right now. When I see who is criticising the commitment of the former UJ generals (as lecturers), everything becomes clear to me: dog bark, ..., “, Lazarevic said.

According to an article published in the paper, besides Lazarevic, other young lecturers will include retired General and Serbian Radical Party member Bozidar Delic and current chief of Serbia's Army General Staff Ljubisa Dikovic.

“It's a thin line in Serbia”.

“Where a war crimes sentence can be counted as a minus in most countries, in Serbia a honourary “, said agency “Reuters”.

Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin also opened a controversial debate, saying generals and senior officials who had command roles during the Kosovo conflict, including Lazarevic, were extraordinary “people”.

Among those who reacted to this statement was US Ambassador Kyle Scott, who in his personal Twitter wrote, “Serbian Defence Minister commends a convicted war criminal”./Periscopi/
