CEP will conduct a 30 – day training for veterinarians in the framework of Slovenia's Official Development Cooperation project "Assistance to Bosnia and Herzegovina in establishing EU phytosanitary standards – training of laboratory analysts" supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia. The Veterinary institute of Bihać and the Veterinary institute of Republika Srpska are participating in the project with five trainees each, the first will focus on the implementation of the ELISA test method and the latter on the implementation in the LC-MS/MS method.

The training will be led by dr. Vesna Cerkvenik Flajs from Reziduum and first expert visit is planned for end of May. The training will provide the knowledge and the documentation for methodology accreditation in line with BAS ISO/IEC 17025 standard. The project is a continuation of the successful implementation of analysis methods in Bosnia and Herzegovina trainings that took place in year 2012 and 2013. The purpose of the project is to raise the knowledge and expertise of laboratory analysts that are working in the field of official phytosanitary control which is of strategic importance for the country due to food safety and consumer quality assurance as well as for enabling export to demanding markets (such as EU).

Nadaljevanje usposabljanja za veterinarske laboratorije v BiH

V okviru projekta CEP »Pomoč Bosni in Hercegovini pri vzpostavitvi standardov Evropske unije na področju varne in kakovostne prehrane- usposabljnje analiznih veterinarskih laboratorijev" , ki poteka okviru Mednarodnega razvojnega sodelovanja RS Ministrstva za zunanje zadeve Republike Slovenije bo v letu 2014 opravljeno 30-dnevno usposabljanje laboratorijskih analitikov v Bosni in Hercegovini. V usposabljanje sta vključena vsak s po petimi analitiki JU Veterinarski zavod Bihać (Bihać), kjer je v dogovorjenem planu projekta uvedba in validacija analizne metode določevanja metabolitov nitrofuranov v jajcih z ELISA testiranjem in JU Veterinarski institut Republike Srpske "Dr Vaso Butozan" Banja Luka (Banja Luka), kjer je planirana uvedba in validacija LC-MS/MS metode določevanja tetraciklinov v mleku. Usposabljanje bo vodila dr. Vesna Cerkvenik Flajs iz podjetja Reziduum.

Prva ekspertna misija je planirana koncem meseca maja. Tekom usposabljanja bodo pridobljena znanja in dokumentacija v skladu s standardi in zakonodajo Evropske unije za dosego metodološke akreditacije po standardu BAS ISO/IEC 17025. Projekt planira nadaljevanje uspešne implementacije analiznih metod v laboratorijih Bosne in Hercegovine v letih 2012 – 2013. Namen projekta je dvig ravni usposobljenosti javnih uslužbencev laboratorijev, ki delujejo na področju uradnega veterinarsko-sanitarnega nadzora živil, ki je strateškega pomena za vsako državo zaradi zagotavljanja kvalitetne hrane potrošnikov in javnega zdravstva, obenem pa tudi zaradi zagotavljanja izvoza na zahtevna tuja tržišča (EU).
