Representatives of the Centre for Civil-Military Relations and RACVIAC – Centre for Security Cooperation, Professor Miroslav Hadzic and Ambassador Hadzimusic have signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Friday, November 21.

RACVIAC, founded in 2000 as the Regional Arms Control Verification and Implementation Assistance Centre, was originally a project under the Working Table III of  Stability Pact for SEE. Primary purpose of RACVIAC was to provide arms control training, promote confidence and security building measures and broaden cooperation in the region. Later on, its emphasis was shifted to a wider range of issues, including security sector reform.

The current situation, developments and changes in the security environment in SEE, necessitated a review of RACVIAC’s mission, objectives and structure, in order to respond to future security challenges. The new name of the Regional Arms Control Verification and Implementation Assistance Centre from October 2007 is  RACVIAC – Centre for Security Cooperation.

Before the Memorandum was signed, current and future activities of the Centre were presented to the guests. Afterwards, in a less formal atmosphere, representatives of two organisations continued their discussion on possibilities for future cooperation.
