The course was organized with the support of the OSCE, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the OSCE Mission to Moldova.
“I’m convinced that this project will contribute to reducing the risks for people living near arms depots. By diminishing the risks of proliferation of weapons, we want to contribute to security and stability in the whole region,” said the Head of the OSCE Mission to Moldova Jennifer Brush.
