The outgoing SAF contingent has successfully completed all its tasks under the mission mandate, demonstrating in a multinational environment the professionalism and competence of the Serbian Armed Forces personnel.The handover/takeover ceremony was held in the Serbian Morava Base, located in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, where our military hospital is located. Having been briefed about the security situation and key activities in the mission area, the new contingent took over the tasks entrusted to the Serbian contingent in this mission.
By contributing to peacekeeping operations, the Serbian Armed Forces also contribute to building and safeguarding world peace, while simultaneously confirming its professionalism and ability to employ its resources in an international framework.
