Introductory address by Director

Dear Friends,

In the year 2008 RACVIAC – Centre for Security Cooperation reached the peak of its transformation process. The two working groups established by the decision at the 19th MAG Meeting in October 2008, dealt in a highly productive manner with the two most important strategic issues for the future of the Centre – adapting its organization and its legal status to the shifting regional and world order. In parallel, some old practices were abandoned or replaced with new ones, including a somewhat different style of organizing and executing our activities as well as reporting, to mention just a few of the steps towards a new working ethos of the Centre.
