MINE ACTION 2026

We were honoured to take part in the 22nd International Symposium “Mine Action 2026,” held in Split, Croatia, from 23 to 25 March 2026. This edition was especially notable due to the announcement that Croatia has been declared a mine-free country after 30 years of humanitarian demining.

The three-day event, organised by the Croatian Mine Action Centre - Centre for Testing, Development and Training (CTRO), offered a valuable chance to exchange experiences, discuss solutions to technical and managerial challenges, and gain insights into the latest technologies, equipment, and methods. Alongside the plenary session, the symposium also designated additional time to showcase mine action equipment, allowing participants to present their products to decision-makers from around the world.

During this symposium, LtC Witold PLEZIA delivered a presentation updating the audience on the current tasks, activities, and projects of the NATO EOD COE. Additionally, our centre had a stand in the exhibition area.
