| Summary: | The participation of the Serbian Armed Forces in multinational operations is based on established security and defense needs and interests stated in the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Serbia, the Defense Strategy of the Republic of Serbia, and the Strategic Defense Review of the Republic of Serbia. Through the participation of members of the Serbian Armed Forces and other defense forces in multinational operations, our country confirms its interest and intention to concretely contribute to the global, European and regional security, and to the observance of international law and order, and thus it also fulfills the internationally accepted obligations arising from its membership of the UN and other international organizations. The members of the Serbian Armed Forces participating in multinational operations are richer in experiences and knowledge they accept from their co-workers from the armies of other participating countries, which they subsequently apply in carrying out their own regular tasks within their active duties, thus contributing to the development of military thinking, and consequently the operational art. Since their introduction, and particularly in recent years, the peacekeeping missions, recently referred to as peace support operations, have, due to their main characteristics (involvement of a large number of manpower and combat and non-combat weapons and equipment; major challenges faced by the participants of the mission; distance from their home country, etc.) become very expensive, both for the Organization of the United Nations (OUN) and the participating countries. |
