The basic workshop and theoretical part of the exercise were organized in Sofia, followed by a two-day field exercise and concluded with an evaluation on the final day. This was the first time that Serbian surveillance teams  participated in a joint cross-border surveillance exercise with a surveillance unit from an EU State. The aim of such an exercise, being to increase the knowledge of police practitioners and the understanding of cross-border surveillance, as well as advance and intensify the cooperation between the SEE countries in this area, was met. In addition, a network of informal contacts was established.
