Military 2000-2008
The changes in the military over the past eight years were strongly influenced by the political turmoil in Serbia, the post-conflict and post-authoritarian context in which the armed forces developed, and the lingering union with Montenegro. As a result it is hardly surprising that the approach of the ruling elites to the reform of the armed forces was driven by everyday political needs and interests.
Reform was for a long time slowed down by the absence of clear constitutional and legal provisions properly regulating its status, missions and tasks. Furthermore, the civilian chain of command over the military was not precisely defined, and the armed forces were, in effect, beyond the reach of democratic civilian control. These summary findings will be explained and substantiated in greater detail in the first part of this paper and will enable us to identify and evaluate the results of the Serbian Armed Forces reforms from 2006 until the present date.
