Counter-terrorism officers from the Mazovia region (Poland) took part in a joint operational training in Slovakia. The officers were invited by the Special Police Unit PPÚ Bratislava and trained together at the Lešť Training Centre in Slovakia from 23 to 27 February 2026, enhancing cross-border cooperation and operational readiness. This initiative directly resulted from ENLETS collaboration, demonstrating how international partnerships can be translated into practical actions.

The new ProtectEU strategy marks the beginning of a new era, in which Member States strengthen their capabilities to protect societies and democracies. This includes enhanced threat assessments, greater use of EU-developed technologies, and stronger operational cooperation between police forces across Europe.

The ENLETS National Contact Points met in Nicosia last week, hosted by the Cyprus Police, to review EU policy developments and other topics.
