185 years ago, on November 12, 1839, the Military Law (Закон воениј) was passed in the Principality of Serbia, which is the first legal act that systematically defines military security protection and prescribes punishments for acts of treason, desertion, rebellion, espionage and acts against «people›s freedom». This legal act is the cornerstone of the institutional existence and development of security protection of the Army and the bodies and services that implement it. Their improvement and operation through various forms and shapes continued during the 19th and 20th centuries until today.
