Serbian troops return home from UN mission in Lebanon

A press release said that the security platoon was deployed with the Italian contingent in UNIFIL Sector West. It was replaced by troops that were deployed in mid-September from the Serbian military’s Training Command.

“The platoon members performed their duties responsibly in line with the mission mandate justifying the reputation of the Serbian soldier and Army of Serbia internationally,” the Ministry press release said.

The Serbian military has been engaged in the UN mission in Lebanon since 2010 with security platoons, staff officers and an infantry company which is part of the Spanish contingent in the multi-national brigade sector east.
