Serbian military in Afghanistan

On the other side, peace-keeping missions increase trust, improve the nation’s image and demonstrate Serbia’s democratic potential.

Defense Minister Zoran Stanković said that a deal has been made with the Norwegian Defense Ministry for the first Serbian physician to be sent to Afghanistan on September 27, as a part of Norway’s peace-keeping unit. Another member of the Serbian military’s medical unit will be headed to Afghanistan as well at the end of September.

Stanković told daily Blic that four doctors have already undergone preparations in Norway, at the Peace-Keeping Mission Center.

“Also, we agreed to have our participation in the mission significantly increased starting March 2007, when 26 medical professionals will be sent to Afghanistan. All the preparations for the departure of the two physicians have been completed, and the group that is preparing to leave on March 27 will start taking English language courses next month.” Stanković said.

At the same time, three Serbian officers will be sent through the Belgian contingent. They are over-seeing officers, who will participate in securing the airport in Kabul.

“During the visit to Norway, our hosts told us that that a field hospital for our military will arrive by the end of the year, and Serbia will also be receiving five ambulances by March as a donation.” Stanković said.
