The Congress registered 748 participants from 80 Member States, as well as observers from several countries. The Congress took place in the form of plenary sessions, panel discussions, workshops and poster sessions. The main topics were: the threat of CBRN agents, management of casualties in mass disasters and humanitarian missions, malaria in modern military medical services, infectious disease in specific military population.

Four plenary sessions were held: "Ebola hemorrhagic fever," "Peacekeeping forces in humanitarian operations and management of casualties in mass disasters", "The Dangers of CBRN agents" and "War surgery". Colonel Prof. Dr. Jovic was the moderator of two plenary sessions, and at one he had an oral presentation. Prof. Dr. Vucinic had a presentation at the session on CBRN agents. Both presentations were met with great interest of the Congress participants.

Also, prof. Vucinic, as the Secretary of the Pan-European working group submitted a report on the working group activities for the previous period when the 3rd Pan-European Congress of Military Medicine was held from 2 to 6 June 2014 in Belgrade.
