🤝 Tokom posjete Red Arrows Crnoj Gori, imali smo priliku da okupimo žene koje svojim radom doprinose sektoru bezbjednosti i odbrane, i da zajedno otvorimo važna pitanja o karijeri, izazovima i prilikama u ovoj oblasti. 🏅 Posebno nam je bilo zadovoljstvo da razgovor vodi potpukovnica Sasha Nash, komandantkinja Red Arrows, čije iskustvo i put kroz Kraljevsko vazduhoplovstvo jasno pokazuju da su liderstvo, profesionalizam i posvećenost univerzalne vrijednosti. 🙋‍♀️ Razmijenjena su iskustva o tome kako izgleda karijera u ovom sektoru, šta je potrebno za napredovanje i koliko je važno da institucije stvaraju prostor za različite perspektive i pristupe. Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo 🇬🇧 i Crna Gora 🇲🇪 dijele posvećenost jačanju uloge žena u oblasti mira i bezbjednosti, i ovakvi susreti doprinose boljem razumijevanju i daljem razvoju te saradnje. * 🤝 During the Red Arrows’ visit to Montenegro, we had the opportunity to bring together women contributing to the security and defence sector, and to open an important discussion on careers, challenges and opportunities in this field. 🏅 We were particularly pleased that the discussion was led by Wg Cdr Sasha Nash, Commanding Officer of the Red Arrows, whose experience and journey through the Royal Air Force clearly demonstrate that leadership, professionalism and commitment are universal values. 🙋‍♀️ Participants exchanged experiences on what a career in this sector looks like, what it takes to progress, and how important it is for institutions to create space for diverse perspectives and approaches. The United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and Montenegro 🇲🇪 share a commitment to strengthening the role of women in peace and security, and conversations like this contribute to deeper understanding and continued cooperation.

Danas su se Red Arrows vratili u 🇲🇪, gdje su tokom svoje posjete realizovali izvedbu u vazduhu, obilježavajući poseban trenutak u našim bilateralnim odnosima. Kako se Crna Gora 🇲🇪 približava obilježavanju 20 godina nezavisnosti, Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo 🇬🇧 s ponosom stoji uz bliskog prijatelja i saveznika, slaveći partnerstvo koje je tokom protekle dvije decenije postalo sve snažnije i koje se i danas dalje razvija. Od odbrane i bezbjednosti do zajedničkih vrijednosti i međunarodne saradnje, 🇬🇧 i 🇲🇪 blisko sarađuju, uključujući kroz NATO, kako bi dodatno ojačali našu zajedničku saradnju u oblasti bezbjednosti i odbrane. Red Arrows predstavljaju ono najbolje iz Kraljevskog vazduhoplovstva, preciznost, profesionalizam i timski rad, i bila je čast ponovo ih vidjeti iznad Crne Gore. 🤝 Ova posjeta je više od trenutka na nebu. Ona je odraz partnerstva izgrađenog na povjerenju, međusobnom poštovanju i zajedničkoj posvećenosti budućnosti. Da je vječna! * Today, the Red Arrows, returned to Montenegro, delivering an aerial practice display during their visit to mark a very special moment in our bilateral relations. As Montenegro approaches 20 years of independence, the United Kingdom is proud to stand alongside a close friend and ally, celebrating a partnership that has grown stronger over the past two decades and continues to evolve today. From defence and security to shared values and international cooperation, the UK and Montenegro work closely together, including through NATO, to reinforce our shared security and defence cooperation. The Red Arrows represent the very best of the Royal Air Force, precision, professionalism and teamwork, and it was an honour to see them once again over Montenegro. 🤝 This visit is more than a moment in the sky. It is a reflection of a partnership built on trust, respect and a shared commitment to the future. Da je vječna!

Arriving at Podgorica as we make our way across mainland Europe to begin the final phase of pre-season training. It’s great to be back in Montenegro after the Red Arrows’ first-ever visit to the country last year. The short stopover is a valuable opportunity to further engage with the Montenegrin Armed Forces and to work alongside allies within NATO. #RedArrows | #RAF | #NATO
