Destruction of 10,000 surplus and confiscated weapons in Serbia

On Saturday 21 November 2009 at the \"Centar za reciklazu\" in Zeleznik, Belgrade, the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia and SEESAC implemented a joint project for the destruction of 10,000 surplus and collected weapons. The destruction event was attended by H.E. Mr Haakon Blankenborg, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway, Mr. Efrem Radev, Senior Expert at the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), diplomatic and defence representatives as well as representatives of the Ministry of Interior.

This destruction is a continuation of the successful cooperation between the Ministry of Interior and SEESAC which has already resulted in the disposal of 17,000 weapons on 3 October 2009. Both destructions in 2009 have been made possible through the generous support of Norway.
