We welcome all the delegates to register for the coming Congress in Prague in September.

The Ministry of Denfense and Serbian Armed Forces pay a great deal of attention to road safety.This years fifth expert conference “Safety og Military Traffic Participants” will be held on 26th May 2011 at the Military Academy in Belgrade.

ECRAF is invited to attend the conference and will be represented by President Oddvar Haagensen who will give a speach, and Policy Secretary Leif Agnar Ellevset.

^{On the 8th February, in the Czech city of Olomouc, the President met representatives from the Slovak Military Police, representing the Slovakian delegation to ECRAF. The topic for the meeting was to inform the President on the current Road Safety situation in Slovakia, and to discuss how ECRAF could improve or be even more relevant to Slovakia.}

The Slovak delegation gave the President a good overview of the military Road Safety organization. The President was impressed by their systematic work on Road Safety issues. Most important, and encouraging was the Slovak delegation’s statement that ECRAF is an organization Slovakia will support in the future, which also from this year is reflected in their budget.The President closed the meeting by thanking the Slovak delegation for all their support, and for a good, friendly and open discussion.
