Centre for European Perspective organised a round table on importance of training in the field of civilian crisis management. Round table was organised as a starting activity before the pilot Train-the-Trainer course, which is co-organised in the ENTRi framework by CMC Finland and CEP Slovenia, together with expert trainers of UN OCHA.
Civilian crisis management is a relatively new approach to international crisis management, first introduced in 2000. Well-prepared personnel are of utmost importance in ensuring successful civilian crisis management and stabilisation-type missions. Capacity development does not only mean reaching sufficient quantities of personnel, but also ensuring their quality and interoperability. Training activities target the range of individual needs associated with deployment and support missions in fulfilling their mandate adequately and efficiently.
Round table was organised as an interactive discussion among different training providers in Slovenia and abroad in order to discuss aspects of training within different organisations, ministries and other structures for their staff, deployed to crisis management missions. These events are also an important opportunity to exchange lessons learnt, best practices and different experience among training providers. It was attended by representatives of the Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Defence of Slovenia, European Security and Defence College (ESDC), ENTRi, CMC Finland, FBA Sweden, ASPR Austria, EULEX Kosovo and EUMM Georgia, Danish, Slovenian, Hungarian and Swedish Police representatives as well as others.

There are still large quantities of weapons stored improperly in the Western Balkans due to the conflicts in the 1990s. These weapons often end up in the hands of criminal gangs, which resell them through established trafficking routes into the EU countries. Increasingly pressing problem is the acquisition and use of these weapons by terrorist groups and related extremist movements.
