This Conference provided a platform for experts of OSCE participating States, OSCE Partners for Co-operation, OSCE executive structures, international organizations and civil society to discuss challenges posed by drug trafficking and its linkages with other forms of organized crime and terrorism, as well as to identify proposals to address these threats.
In particular, participants discussed drug prevention, and the means and ways to tackle drug-related crimes, such as corruption, money-laundering, trafficking in persons and firearms, and terrorism, as the most challenging threats that require an increased co-ordinated response at regional and international levels.
This meeting was intended for experts from pertinent government ministries, such as ministries of Interior, Justice, Foreign Affairs and Health, as well as other drug control structures, representatives of OSCE Partners for Co-operation, OSCE field operations, international and regional organizations and civil society that are engaged in tackling the world drug problem.
