# Council Decision 2010/179/CFSP of 11 March 2010 in support of SEESAC arms control activities in the Western Balkans, in the framework of the EU Strategy to combat the illicit accumulation and trafficking of SALW and their ammunition, Division 2.2: SALW destruction

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The objective of the project is to increase security and diminish the risk of proliferation by significantly reducing the number of surplus weapons in storage. In order to reduce the surplus SALW held by the Ministries of Interior in Croatia and Serbia, the project will conduct several SALW destruction activities. In Croatia, the project envisages the destruction of some 30 000 weapons. In Serbia, the number of weapons to be destroyed is estimated at 40 000.
The project will result in a significantly reduced number of surplus and confiscated SALW in the Ministry of Interior storages in Croatia and Serbia. The destruction of recovered weapons will significantly contribute to preventing further proliferation of SALW. In addition, this will lead to improved security as well as increased awareness of SALW issues in these two countries.
