Intelligence and Reconnaissance Directorate
The Intelligence and Reconnaissance Directorate (Serbian: Uprava za obaveštajno-izviđačke poslove / Управа за обавештајно-извиђачке послове) or J-2 of the Serbian General Staff is a military intelligence unit of the Serbian Armed Forces that provides operational and tactical intelligence on various topics relating to the defense of the country, including Electronic Warfare and Countermeasures. Until the Law of Intelligence and security services of Serbia was promulgated in 2007 the Intelligence department of General-staff was the premier military intelligence unit of the Serbian Armed Forces. Since then the Military Intelligence Agency (VOA) has become the premier Serbian military intelligence service and is under the authority of the Ministry of Defense of Serbia, while the Intelligence and Reconnaissance Directorate was reorganized as it is now.
