As a militarily neutral country, Serbia will remain committed to involvement in peace missions as a way to show that it can “export peace and stability”, Vulin added.
The UNIFIL mission was deployed in southern Lebanon in 1978 to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces and assist the country’s government in restoring peace and security. It is the only UN peace mission with a naval component and now numbers 9,400 land forces, more than 850 naval personnel and 900 civilian staff.
