Twice, in 2018 and 2023, it terminated the professional service of Military Union president Novica Antić, both times on the same grounds. Its helicopter crashed near Surčin in 2015 while carrying a sick baby, killing seven people; the commission cited human error and failures in flight planning and command as the cause, and the decision for the helicopter to take off was made by Defence Minister Bratislav Gašić. No one has been held criminally accountable.
