Division 2.3.3 Regional seminar on marking and tracing

The project provides for the organisation of a two-day regional seminar provisionally envisaged to be held in Belgrade, Serbia. The seminar will provide an update on adherence to international instruments and the adoption of national legislation on marking and tracing in the Western Balkans. The seminar will provide for a review of the implementation of the national legislation. A specific objective will be the implementation of the requirement for marking of imported weapons under the UN Firearms Protocol.

Participants in this regional seminar will include, inter alia, representatives from the Western Balkan’s countries, international organisations and NGOs, national industries and technical experts from EU Member States. It is expected that up to 50 participants will attend this seminar.

The seminar will produce a report of the presentations and discussions and of the recommendations. The seminar documents will be made available online.
