Following the successful ECRAF Congresses in Stockholm in 2024 and Salzburg in 2025, I am pleased to say that the 2026 ECRAF Congress in Prague continued this positive momentum.

Hosted by the Czech Military Police, the congress brought together representatives from 13 countries to exchange knowledge and experiences on road safety within the armed forces.

This year’s discussions focused particularly on road safety in crisis situations, the challenges of military driver training under demanding conditions, and the importance of preparedness and international cooperation.

The congress once again demonstrated the value of sharing experiences, learning from one another, and working together towards our common Vision Zero goals.

My sincere thanks go to our Czech hosts for their outstanding hospitality, professionalism, and commitment to making the 2026 congress a great success.
