OSCE Centre trains border guards in Kazakhstan

An OSCE-organized training on document security for Kazakhstan’s Border Service staff began on 14 February 2013 in the southern city of Shymkent.

The seminar was organized by the OSCE Centre in co-operation with the EU/UNDP Border Management Programme in Central Asia and Kazakhstan’s Border Service.

During the three-day training the participants will learn about document security, document production, security features, identification of false IDs and international profiling techniques. Experts from Georgia, Slovak Republic and Austria will share their experiences on international border management and security practices.

The seminar is part of the OSCE Centre in Astana's efforts to promote the OSCE border security concept in Kazakhstan. Similar training courses were conducted in Almaty in 2012.
