NATO’s Operational Capabilities Concept Evaluation and Feedback programme is designed to improve the ability of forces from NATO partners to operate together. It has been used in Serbia since 2011. It has contributed to the further development of Serbian forces and has provided a framework through which Serbian forces have increased their ability to meet the Alliance’s military standards, so as to be able to participate in peacekeeping missions around the globe under the UN and the EU aegis.
