Finland is not participating but will provide technical support. Participating units will begin arriving in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in the week of 7-10 September. After a formal opening ceremony on Saturday 12 September, the soldiers will familiarise themselves with the exercise area and the equipment which is being provided by the Host Nation. The next stage of the exercise will involve units from the participating nations demonstrating their peacekeeping skills and procedures. After the demonstrations, the soldiers will have the opportunity to put their skills into practice.
Media are most welcome to visit the exercise.
Press and Information Centres will be operating in Krivolak and Skopje from 8 - 18 September 1998.
