Slavic Brotherhood 2017 represents a continuation of cooperation between the airborne units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Special Brigade of the Serbian Armed Forces, which was initiated by performing Srem 2014 exercise, which was carried out on the Nikinci training ground. In 2015, the exercise was carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation entitled Slavic Brotherhood 2015 and, apart from the armed forces of the Russian Federation and the Serbian Armed Forces, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus participated in it for the first time. Last year, the Slavic Brotherhood 2016 trilateral exercise was conducted in our territory.
