All students participated in question and answer sessions after each presentation . A great deal of emphasis was given to globally critical subjects such as NATO Cyber Threats , CIS Security and NATO Deployable CIS , by the students . For Cyber security , within the realms of security classification and security , much interest was expressed on how the Serbian Army could further develop their Cyber Security and the organisational structure required to set up a robust Cyber Programme . Whilst discussing the topic of NATO Deployable CIS , interoperability and CIS support required to interoperate with an alliance of 28 nations ( i . e NATO ) from an outside military force were conversed . The whole process of the OCC programme and the MTT is designed to aid interoperability and to facilitate working in a multinational environment . CIS technology is always evolving and Nations with different National budgets do inherently progress differently . The issue of interoperability is managed but can never be said to be fully resolved as new technology will be developed in the future . In the same vein , the more active participants that are involved within the alliance amplify the interoperability challenges . The clear message presented to the MTT students in Serbia was that active engagement in the OCC programme and future MTT programmes minimises disconnects between NATO Member nations and PfP Nation capabilities .
Amongst the MTT students , a better appreciation of the capabilities of NATO was established . With the diversity of the Job specifications in the syndicate , whether within a Battalion , Brigade or at Divisional level , all were able to relate within their own specific environment to the lessons taught from the NATO lectures . A strong desire for future MTT visits was expressed , to ensure that as NATO and technology evolves , Serbia have a keen interest to gain and retain an interoperable status with NATO .
