ABSTRACT
The development of multidimensional civil-military cooperation is a central objective for the defense sector, and it is suggested that the Serbian Armed Forces are present in all activities of society on a daily basis. Theoretically, the relationship between expenditures in categories such as education, health care, and the defense sector should be analyzed carefully, because the military may provide "educational and medical care as well as vocational and technical specialties". The defense sectors of many countries undertake social programs that focus on community health, education, and access to technology, but how those programs benefit the community is uncertain. The relations between defense and economic growth are prevalent in studies, with scholars depicting the importance of the defense sector for human capital and educational spillovers. The adoption of laws and regulations concerning defense planning are an initial step required for the undertaking of further improvements of the defense system as a whole.
