Zoran Djordjevic, State Secretary at the Ministry of Defence, provided the rationale for the bills. He said that by joining the Partnership for Peace the Republic of Serbia had shown interest in taking part in multinational operations, and the proposed agreement, among other things, reduces the cost of participation in said operations. The agreement, said Djordjevic, also sets the legal groundwork for the destruction of surplus explosive devices in the Kragujevac Technical Remounting Institute.
The Committee accepted both bills unanimously.

The sitting was attended by Committee members and deputy members Igor Becic, Momir Stojanovic, Milos Tomasevic, Suzana Sarac, Vanja Vukic, Nenad Nikolic, Stefana Miladinovic and Dubravka Filipovski.

The sitting was chaired by Committee Chairperson Marija Obradovic.
