Baltic Military College

Training of military personnel, including the operation of the Baltic Military College, is among the main topics of the two-day meeting with the participation of commander of Lithuanian armed forces Vladas Tutkus, commander of the Latvian national armed forces Juris Maklakovs and commander of the Estonian defence forces Ants Laaneots.

The Baltic Military College trains future commissioned officers both from the Baltic countries as well as military and civil specialists from Azerbaijan, Albania, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Balkan countries.

The commanders will discuss operation of the military swimmers school in Liepaja, various courses for training non-commissioned officers and other projects of training personnel.

The agenda includes an exchange of opinions on the operation of the tracking system of air space BALTNET, the BALTBAT battalion, the Baltic naval squadron BALTRON, the NATO mission on patrolling the air space of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as well as other pressing issues of military politics.

Contacts between the Baltic countries in the military sphere assumed a new quality and became especially close when the Baltic defence ministers signed a tripartite treaty on cooperation in 1992. They were re-aligned on regular cooperation between NATO partners when the three countries joined the alliance in 2004.
