The Ministry of Administration and Interior (MAI) will organize the Ministerial Conference of the Salzburg Forum, over Oct 28-30. Romania currently holds the Forum’s chairmanship. Salzburg Forum (SF) or Salzburg Group was set up in July 2001, on Austria’s initiative and is made up of the interior ministers of Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, Croatia being anobserver in the Group’s activities.
From one stage to the other the Forum has become an important platform for dialogue, consultations and opinion exchange with the view to harmonizing the participating states’ stances on the regional security.
The action priorities that the Forum’s presidency establishes must, in principle, follow the main objectives of the presidency of the EU Council, which are also mirrored in the provisions of the Joint Conclusions adopted within the Ministerial Conference, due every six months, as well as in the topics of the working groups staged during each presidency.
The Conference’s works take place at the Parliament Palace, the Human Rights Hall, on Oct 29 and 30. Invited to attend are the delegations of the Forum’s member states, along with the delegations of the EU Commission and Sweden, in its capacity of the EU country currently holding the EU Council’s chairmanship, along with officials of the SECI Center and Europol.
