- Enhancement of security cooperation

AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION

Security challenges, including organized crime, human trafficking, terrorism, violent extremism require close cooperation between the competent institutions throughout the region, and joint engagement at both stages of prevention and response.

Coordinated action in safeguarding security becomes all the more important, as present-day threats, such as cyber crime and fake news dissemination, add up to the existing security challenges. Within the context of the pandemic crisis and the ever changing technological landscape, the need for constant updating in the security cooperation framework at all levels in SEE is evident and an exchange of views within SEECP could pave the way to this direction.

Existing initiatives in regional and EU context, as well as IISG coming under RCC umbrella can be

useful tools towards the effective engagement of our region as a whole in strengthening security

cooperation.
