These maneuvers involved 600 Russian military personnel, 300 Belarusians and 50 Serbs, including air assets and airborne forces, armored forces and special operations groups. The exercise simulated a situation in which terrorist groups seize border areas by taking local civilians hostage. A joint military force of Russians, Belarusians and Serbs was to neutralize terrorists, free hostages and provide humanitarian assistance, according to the Russian news agency Tass.

It must be remembered that between Belarus and Russia there are strong historical ties for having been integral republics of the Soviet Union. To this day, in fact, Belarus is one of the former Soviet territories that most conserves the old structures of the communist regime. As for Serbia, its ties of brotherhood with Russia go back to the time of the tsars. To this day, Serbia is the only Central European country that remains in the orbit of Russia. The circumstance also happens that it is practically surrounded by NATO member countries. Of those who have borders with Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Albania belong to the Atlantic Alliance.
