Krivolak

Soldiers from North Macedonia, the United States, the UK, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Poland, Turkey, and Bulgaria took part in a multinational training event at Krivolak in 2015 designed to build trust between NATO partners, and assess the military capabilities of states looking to join NATO.

Krivolak (Macedonian: Криволак) is an area in east-central North Macedonia, where Krivolak Military Training Center, the largest military base of the Macedonian Army and the largest military training area in the Balkans, is located. The area is primarily used for the training of the Macedonian Armed Forces and its allies. The base has also been used for NATO exercises, and, while North Macedonia was a part of Yugoslavia, for testing of chemical weapons.
