OSCE Transnational Threats Department with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia organised a tabletop exercise on strengthening protection and preparedness against terrorist attacks aimed at critical energy infrastructure.
During the exercise, 32 experts from various national state authorities and private sector companies tested the effectiveness of their existing protection and crisis management systems, including co-ordination with external crisis management mechanisms to mitigate the impact of an attack. The exercise aimed at improving partnerships between the public and private sectors in order to increase the resilience of the national energy infrastructure.
This tabletop exercise in Serbia is the sixth of a series of national exercises developed by the OSCE Transnational Threats Department for OSCE participating States and is based on its Good Practices Guide on Non-Nuclear Critical Energy Infrastructure Protection from Terrorist Attacks Focusing on Threats Emanating from Cyberspace.
