SLOVAKIA HOSTS 45TH IST & 72ND ST OPS MEETINGS

The 45th IST Ops Meeting & 72nd SCC meetings took place in Bratislava from 16-19 October 2023.

20 of the 29 MCCE member nations sent representatives to Slovakia, and one nation connected via VTC.

During the meetings, national challenges related to inland surface and sea transportation were discussed.

Besides the national updates, representatives of the International Donor Coordination Centre (IDCC) presented their procedures, challenges and how they daily support Ukraine from Slovakia.

Discussions and networking during breaks and spare time once again allowed the participants to achieve results in multinational coordination.

Personal contact and discussion among the member nation representatives proved its value again, generating new cooperation and initiatives. Nothing can replace these kinds of meetings.

Finally, the MCCE IST & ST staff once again thank our Slovakian hosts for their hospitality and excellent organisation of the meetings.
