New expert to be sent by Latvia to EU Ukraine mission

At its meeting August 8, the Latvian Cabinet of Ministers adopted a draft order on the participation of civilian expert Arsenijs Mihejevs in the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM) for Civilian Security Sector Reform in Ukraine starting from 1 September this year.

Mihejevs has been confirmed as Senior Adviser on General Policing. Following his confirmation, the EU Advisory Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform in Ukraine will be staffed by four Latvian civilian experts. Currently, 25 EU Member States with 146 experts are participating in the mission.

The EU Advisory Mission Ukraine was established in 2014 to support Ukraine in the area of civilian security sector reform. The mission provides strategic advice to the Ukrainian authorities at both the central and regional level in the development of civilian security sector reform strategies and the implementation of related reforms. In 2022, amendments to the mission’s mandate were adopted, which include support to Ukraine’s border guards, customs and police in coordinating humanitarian and refugee flows, as well as support in documenting war crimes in Ukraine.
