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.

On the basis of agreement on cooperation with the Military Academy of Serbia, two students of Serbian Armed Forces' Command Staff training within the School of National Defence will spend six months in the Centre as associate experts.
