Summary/Abstract: A handful of Serbian officers, specialists in certain areas of military, were educated in France and Belgium in mid-19. century. They were mostly general staff and military engineering officers, who received high education in military schools in Paris. Artillery officers were given specialized education in Belgium, where they were trained to manufacture weapons and gunpowder. In the last decade of the 19. century a number of Serbian officers were sent to French and Belgian military schools, including those who paid for their education. In the first decade of the 20. century, the majority of officers were schooled in France, during the time in which Kingdom of Serbia began approaching the Entente countries. In this period many Serbian officers of various combat arms and services were conducting their internships in France. Officers schooled in France and Belgium in 19. and the first decade of the 20. century, significantly contributed to modernization of the Serbian Army. French influence in the Serbian army and the Army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia remained dominant until World War II.
