WEU and NATO Exercise: Slovenia Actively Assists in 'Kiloland Crisis'

Brussels, 21 February - WEU/NATO/EXERCISE
Slovenia has actively taken part in the carrying out of the first Western European Union (WEU) and NATO crisis management exercise, which is taking place in Brussels. The CMX/CRISEX 2000 exercise, which is led by WEU and supported by NATO, involves the resolution of a crisis situation in the fictitious island country of Kiloland. Following WEU's decision to send a 30,000 member unit to solve the ethnic unrest, the Slovene representatives said on Monday that they were one of the first countries to react and offered to send a 700 member unit.
