The role of international field exercises in the improvement of national capactities of the Republic of Serbia in the area of emergency management

Summary/Abstract: this manuscript is focused on the importance of international field exercises in the field of emergency management from the perspective of the countries that organize them, as well as the participating countries. International institutions, such as the EU and the North Atlantic treaty Organization (NATO), are examples of good practice in creating and organizing field international emergency management exercises. the priority in organizing this form of exercises is to promote mutual cooperation and interoperability among the participating countries. In addition, the host country takes the opportunity to see the shortcomings in the internal organizational setting or further develop their own capacities based on lessons learned that are identified during the exercise. today, several international field exercises are organized under the patronage of the EU or NATO on an annual basis. the concept of the exercise involves the participation of a large number of countries, with EU exercises targeting the area of the European Union, while NATO international field exercises in the field of emergency management provide the opportunity for states outside the EU to take part. In October 2018, the Republic of Serbia hosted an international field exercise "Serbia 2018" organized by the euro-atlantic emergency Coordination Center (eaDRCC), which is a part of NATO. Besides, as a member of the European Civil Protection Mechanism in the EU, the representatives of the competent emergency services of the Republic of Serbia take an active part in the EU-organized exercises. the article will explore how international field exercises will contribute to raising national capacities of the Republic of Serbia in the field of emergency.situations. the EU, as well as NATO, through its organizational units, organizes international field exercises to assist countries in whose territory the exercises are realized. thus, in addition to the development of international cooperation, significant progress is achieved in the field of national capacities.
