Harmonization of motives and objectives of essential entities of planning defense system development

Abstract

Planning the development of the defense system ensures that the defense system, that is the Serbian Armed Forces in its narrow sense, has the required capabilities to protect national interests from current and future security challenges, risks and threats. The harmonization of motives and objectives of the essential entities has the decisive influence on the results of the planning of the Serbian Armed Forces development. The entities that have the greatest influence on development planning are the nation, that is citizens, a representative political party and entities within the military (military managers and employees). The mismatch between motives and objectives of these entities for a great many years, as well as the implementation of a poor model of harmonization, have led to a continuous reduction of the defense budget, which affected motivation of the employees and has led to the great number of members of the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces terminate their employment. The final effects are reflected in the decline of operational capabilities of the Serbian Armed Forces.
