The Steering Committee is the strategic governing body, responsible for the approval and management of the Centre's Programme of Work and the shared budget. The session of the Steering Committee was opened by the Chairperson of the SC, Lieutenant General Mihail Popov, who welcomed the representative from the Framework Nation, the Republic of Bulgaria, the representatives from the Sponsoring Nations, namely the Hellenic Republic, Hungary, the Republic of Poland, and Romania, as well as the observer from the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye.
The CMDR COE SC members acknowledged the presented CMDR COE activities for 2023, discussed the Financial Budget, noted the proposed changes on the structure and the main documents. A report on a new CMDR COE Strategic Perspective 2024-2028 was delivered to the participants at the meeting.
