Abstract

More than 10 years after the signing of the Dayton Agreement, and over six years after the war in Kosovo, all Western Balkan countries have entered a phase of downsizing and restructuring of their respective armed forces. Even in Serbia and Montenegro the goal is to join NATO's Partnership for Peace and to become a full member of NATO itself.
