With Ēlerts' addition, the EU Advisory Mission for civil security sector reforms will include four civilian experts from Latvia. Currently, 25 EU Member States with 162 experts participate in the mission.
The EU Advisory Mission Ukraine was established in 2014 to provide support to Ukraine in the field of civil security sector reforms. The mission offers advice to the Ukrainian authorities, both at the central and regional levels, in the formulation of civilian security sector reform strategies and the implementation of related reforms.
In 2022, amendments were adopted to the mission’s mandate, which envisage provision of support to the border guard, customs and police authorities of Ukraine in coordinating the flow of humanitarian aid and refugees, as well as support with documenting Russia’s war crimes.
The selection of candidates for participation in EU missions is carried out by the European External Action Service.
