Then follow Montenegro and North Macedonia in the 116th and 110th places respectively, showing a significant improvement compared to the previous year. While the countries with the weakest military power are assessed as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, which are ranked between the last 10 and 12 countries in the world.
