Allied Joint Force Command Naples Commander visits Serbia 

BELGRADE, Serbia: Commander JFC Naples, Admiral Mark Ferguson, paid an official 
visit to Serbia during which he met with Minister of Defense Bratislav Gasic 
and Chief of Defense Ljubisa Dikovic to discuss mutual relations and future 
activities.

Admiral Ferguson said that NATO and Serbia are successfully cooperating through 
various Partnership of Peace mechanisms, and noted that the recently adopted 
IPAP agreement provides space for deepening relations and practical 
cooperation. The Serbian officials noted that Serbia appreciates NATO’s 
assistance in improving capacities for participation of its soldiers in EU and 
UN peacekeeping missions, and added that the Serbian Armed Force’s cooperation 
with KFOR is excellent on all levels.

Admiral Ferguson also met with Chief of NATO MLO Belgrade, Brig. Gen. Lucio 
Batta, to discuss the most recent developments in NATO-Serbia relations and the 
role of the office in supporting Serbiaćs defense sector reform and future 
IPAP-related initiatives.

This was Admiral Ferguson’s first visit to Serbia since assuming command of JFC 
Naples in July 2014. In addition to his NATO responsibilities, Admiral Ferguson 
is also Commander U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa.
