Earlier this month Ivana Mićić, a Researcher with the SIPRI Dual-use and Arms Trade Control Programme, was involved in two seminars on issues related to strategic trade controls, and also participated in the fourth Chaudfontaine Group meeting on export controls.
On 3–4 December, at an inter-ministerial meeting in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mićić spoke about dual-use export control legal provisions. Then, on 12–13 December, in Belgrade, Serbia, Mićić facilitated a two-day regional seminar for South East European countries on these issues.
The seminars were hosted by the respective countries’ governments, in cooperation with the European Union (EU) programme Cooperation in Dual-use Export Control, and with the support of officials from EU member states including Austria, Belgium, Croatia and the United Kingdom.

In addition, on 9–10 December, Mićić took part in the fourth Chaudfontaine Group meeting on export controls organized by the University of Liège, Belgium. This year's debate was on universal trade control regimes versus regional export control models. Mićić presented on the specifics of the German export control system. A book on these issues will be published in mid-2014.
