Summary/Abstract: The current organisation of the Serbian Armed Forces can handle emergencies operationally. Technical capacities are relatively sufficient to respond to the existing challenges, but the operational procedures may not be best suited to cover every risk. The Serbian Armed Forces do not recognise the notion of crisis management, though its units carry out those tasks. Still, there is no single coordination body or authority that could plan and manage Serbian Armed Forces’ operations in emergencies. This paper will shed some light on crisis management, to what extent this concept is recognised in the European Union and NATO, and how it can be implemented in the structure of the Serbian Armed Forces. Beside the organisational solution, we will also provide recommendations for improving the organisational, human and material capacities of the Serbian Armed Forces in emergencies.
