BCSP Conference on the Oversight of Implementation of Special Investigative Measures was held with more than 60 participants, including representatives from the ruling political parties as well as opposition, security institutions, the media and experts.

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.
