Members of the 41st Croatian contingent in the NATO KFOR operation in Kosovo participated on July 7, 2024, in Novo Selo in the traditional 79th "Dancon March" 2024, organized by the contingent of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Denmark.

On the 18-kilometer route, with a load of 10 kg of equipment, 17 members of the 41st HRVCON KFOR participated, all of whom successfully completed the march. The best result among the Croatian representatives was achieved by Lieutenant Ivan Kundid, who reached the finish line with the leading group.

In addition to the Croatian representatives, around 1,000 KFOR soldiers and EULEX police officers from Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Poland, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Greece, Latvia, Austria, and Albania participated in the march.

The "DANCON March" represents an excellent opportunity to test psychophysical abilities and push the limits of each individual's endurance. This long-standing tradition of the Danish Armed Forces dates back to 1972, when it was first held in a UN mission in Cyprus. Since then, the march has been held in NATO/UN operations and missions around the world, including Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Latvia, Estonia, Eritrea, Kuwait, Mali.

The aim of the competition, besides testing the psychophysical readiness of soldiers and police officers, is also an opportunity for participants to get to know each other.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
