The event is organised in the framework of the Caucasus Institute for Peace, Democracy and Development/CIPDD project Security Alert on the EU's Doorstep supported by the EaP CSF Re-granting Scheme. The aim of the project is to raise awareness about the EaP security challenges and develop comprehensive vision for the region.
