Division 2.1.2 Improved safety and security at SALW and ammunition storage sites

The project will improve the safety and security of weapons and ammunition storage sites in the Western Balkans by providing specific technical and infrastructure assistance in order to enhance safe storage capacities. The project activities will assist the Ministries of Defence in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro as well as the Ministry of the Interior of Croatia in procuring and installing the necessary equipment for securing weapons and ammunition stockpiles. Training will be provided for staff in charge of stockpile management.

The project will result in increased security provisions and access control at the selected sites, thus improving the safety of ammunition stocks. As a consequence the risk of theft and of uncontrolled explosions will be significantly reduced through better control of the state of the ammunition and weapons.
