the FSC and representatives of the Montenegrin SALW
Commission, the Mission participated in the first and
second “Regional SALW Roadmap Co-ordination Meetings”
held in Sarajevo and Tirana, respectively. The meetings
were organized in the context of the implementation of the
EU Council Decision 2018/1788/CFSP in support of the
implementation of the “Regional Roadmap on combating
illicit arms trafficking in the Western Balkans”, as part of the
‘Franco-German’ initiative on combating illicit trafficking of

to inform on and co-ordinate activities implemented pursuant
to specific goals of the Roadmap. During these meetings, the
data collected by the national authorities on the Roadmap’s
Key Performance Indicators was presented.
On 11 July, the Deputy Head of Mission participated in
marking of International Gun Destruction Day, during which
some 1,259 pieces of confiscated and voluntarily surrendered
SALW and components were destroyed by the MoI at the
Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy in Nikšić. The event served
as a reminder to the threat posed by poorly secured and
illegal weapons to public safety and security. The MoI,
UNDP SEESAC, and CSO Centre for Democratic Transition
supported the event.
