00:04.673 --> 00:07.684
- For us, that's a great opportunity to practice

00:07.684 --> 00:11.851
regional cooperation and to enhance trust among nations,

00:12.230 --> 00:16.397
even though that in our history, we have a lot of events

00:16.494 --> 00:20.411
where nations of our regions fought each other,

00:20.885 --> 00:24.691
cities of our wars ended just twenty years ago.

00:24.691 --> 00:27.101
And it's a great pleasure to see today

00:27.101 --> 00:29.133
people coming from different republics

00:29.133 --> 00:31.757
of former Yugoslavia, standing together,

00:31.757 --> 00:34.730
practicing together, and preparing to answer

00:34.730 --> 00:36.631
to any possible emergency

00:36.631 --> 00:37.464
which could occur

00:37.464 --> 00:38.297
in the region,

00:38.297 --> 00:39.130
together.

00:39.264 --> 00:40.097
- [Interviewer] Okay.

00:40.097 --> 00:40.930
Very good.

00:40.930 --> 00:43.553
And this exercise has been going on a few years now.

00:43.553 --> 00:45.708
What's different about this year,

00:45.708 --> 00:48.180
and why have these new events been happening.

00:48.180 --> 00:52.347
- Since 2011, mainly focus was on combat operations,

00:53.011 --> 00:55.579
so the situation which happened last year,

00:55.579 --> 00:58.347
especially I would say this migrant crisis,

00:58.347 --> 01:01.691
when we were overwhelmed by thousands of migrants,

01:01.691 --> 01:05.858
and some regional partners, countries from the region,

01:06.022 --> 01:09.670
they used military to assist civilian agencies.

01:09.670 --> 01:12.887
And I think that was main reason to focus now

01:12.887 --> 01:15.785
on a different scenario of this exercise,

01:15.785 --> 01:18.868
like answer to humanitarian disaster,

01:19.552 --> 01:20.885
disaster relief,

01:21.588 --> 01:23.088
or even terrorism.

01:24.377 --> 01:27.422
And I think this is something what really need

01:27.422 --> 01:30.593
to practice together because we don't have capacities

01:30.593 --> 01:33.539
in single nation to answer in such crisis.

01:33.539 --> 01:34.850
- [Interviewer] Okay.
