“The Marketplace is a great opportunity to meet each other, to exchange expertise and to forge new links,” says Senior Director for Integration, Partnership and Cooperation at NATO HQ, Dr. Jaroslaw Skonieczka at the opening ceremony of the Marketplace. Dr. Skonieczka added that PTEC community trained more than 16,000 students through residential, which is really impresive number. Initially launched in 1999 under the Partnership for Peace programme to develop training and education activities with Euro-Atlantic partners, PTEC activities have since been opened to participation of all partners and it rasies its contribution to NATO education and training efforts. PSOTC’s Education and Training offer for 2014 attracted more than 70 visitors and different national delegations during the first day of the Marketplace. The Mission of BiH to NATO, led by Ambasador H.E. Branimir Jukić and Military Representative Brigadier Dr. Alija Kožljak with their staff visited PSOTC's stand at the Marketplace. BiH Mission provided crucial support to PSOTC during the Marketplace.
