This year's, first “Schuman Forum” gathers primarily ministers of defence from 45 partner countries and 27 EU member states, and international and regional organisations with which the EU cooperates in the matters of security and defence.
The goal of the Forum, which is to take place biennially, is to get together ministers of defence of EU member states and partner countries, as well as the representatives of key international and regional organisations, or civil sector and academic community with the aim of holding a high-level dialogue on international security and defence issues. The partnership of the Republic of Serbia and the European Union in the field of security and defence has been lasting for more than a decade now, and it is reflected chiefly in the contribution to EU military operations and missions. The invitation for the participation in this important forum is an indicator that the Republic of Serbia has been recognised as one of more significant partners of the European Union in the field of security and defence.
The participation in Schuman Forum is an opportunity to share experiences and views with ministers of defence of EU member states, high officials of EU institutions, and representatives of other partner states and international organisations, with whom the Republic Serbia jointly participates in performing tasks of maintaining stability and peace in the world.
