More efficient response and enhanced cooperation: Participating delegations to the Eastern Forum on Security and Border Management paid an on-site visit

The Eastern Forum on Security and Border Management, which took place yesterday, has highlighted the need to address jointly the emerging security challenges in Eastern Europe. In this respect, the delegations present at the forum paid an on-site visit, where they analysed whether the existing set of law enforcement tools (regulations, communication channels, terminology) is appropriate for current and future challenges.

At the Palanca-Maiaki-Udobnoe border checkpoint, officials discussed national response mechanisms to war threats and how these could be improved.

The temporary train station and the temporary camp have also been visited, where the heads of the Border Police and the National Police explained how the Moldovan authorities have coordinated and what measures will be taken in case of a potential new wave of refugees.
