This is a competition of the highest world level, in which our national teams participates for the tenth time, and it is organised by the auspices of the International Military Sports Council – CISM, Republic of Serbia being its member.
Parachuting is one of four military sports within the CISM and it is a matter of prestige for the countries of the world to participate in such a competition. The proof of that is the fact that 136 were invited to the competition this year, but only 38 of them, Serbia being one of them, have parachutists who can participate in the competition of such level.
