Turkish Army to Train Montenegrin Troops

Montenegro is planning to conclude a five-year military agreement with Turkey involving the joint training of troops and military exercises.

Montenegrin soldiers will be able to attend Turkish military schools and academies and also "training courses for underwater attacks and defence" as well as training for commandos, the draft, which BIRN has seen, says.

A NATO member since 1952, Turkey is also one of the most powerful member states of the alliance. It has an active military strength of around 623,000 personnel, almost the same size as the total population in Montengro.
