"Everything we are doing to make you have better conditions, to make learning easier, better and safer, will make sense only if each of you understands that the state did not create these conditions nor the job that awaits you as a sign of attention, but as a measure of responsibility that you will one day return to your Serbia for everything it has invested in you. We teach you to be better than the best so that you can face the worst. The state of Serbia has invested money, time, attention in you so that one day you can protect it and deserve respect. I want people to speak for you in the years to come – “he is from the University of Criminal Investigation and Police studies” and that that statement already inspires trust and respect. We can give you everything except trust and respect, you will either win it for yourself or you will never get it. It's up to you. There is no uniform and school that will win your respect and trust, and we can only believe that you are worthy of the part that was given to you. You have no right to betray Serbia." said Minister Vulin.

As part of the artistic program, the guests enjoyed music performed by Tijana Rajković and the Police Orchestra, as well as the documentary "Telling about our prominent criminalists".
