Cost calculation model for the preparation of the Serbian Armed Forces' declared units to contribute to multinational operations

Peacekeeping operations have an irreplaceable role in establishing, building and maintaining peace in crisis-struck regions worldwide. The operations are conducted according to pre-developed plans and predefined models of use, which are made separately for each mission. The countries contributing their forces to peacekeeping operations deploy personnel, technical resources, special-use assets, and, when necessary, specialized personnel for which some compensation can be obtained. According to the above, the paper presents a model of calculating the costs of preparation of the Serbian Armed Forces' declared units to contribute to peacekeeping operations.
