We are pleased to share that representatives of DPPI SEE took part in the Crisis Management Days 2025 conference, held from 3–4 June 2025 in Opatija, Croatia. Organized by the University of Applied Sciences Velika Gorica and partners (including Ministry of Interior - Civil Protection Directorate), this annual event gathers leading professionals, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of crisis and disaster management.
As this event was part of its Disaster Management Training Programme (DMTP), DPPI SEE contributed to the conference through the participation of representatives from its member states. Additionally, the Head of the DPPI SEE Secretariat took part as a speaker in the panel titled “The European Union's Security and Defence Policy: Challenges and Opportunities,” offering insights into regional experiences, strategic directions, and the evolving civil protection landscape in South-Eastern Europe.
Our participation reflects DPPI SEE’s ongoing commitment to regional cooperation, knowledge exchange, and alignment with the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM) and UN efforts in disaster risk reduction. The event provided an important platform for dialogue on building more resilient and better-prepared societies.
