"We had a very good coordination between all nations and I can argue that we have reached the set goals. I can say that all the units, all the countries that participated in the exercise, have shown that together we can do even more, that we are strong and that we can successfully cooperate," Colonel Šopov concluded.
Commander of the 2nd Infantry troop Major Miloš Gačević pointed out that for the members of the Army of Montenegro had many goals, but above all, to improve the level of interoperability with the armed forces of participating States, especially in the field of operations.

The third goal I would like to highlight is to realize those training segments which we cannot currently have in Montenegro," he added. Gačević, as the main conclusion, stated that the "Platinum Lion 18" exercise showed the capacity and willingness of the armed forces of participating States to jointly respond to all challenges in their respective areas.
