The participants of  ENLETS’ First Official Involvement in National Level Actions Within the Czech Republic agreed  to organise regular ENLETS meetings at the national level once a year.

The meeting took place in the Czech Republic on December 13, 2022. The sessions were organised by Col. Pavel Bouberle, the National Contact Point (NCP) for ENLETS in the Czech Republic. Col. Bouberle was supported by Brig. Gen. David Fulka, Deputy Police President of the Czech Republic for Human Resources, ICT and Innovation and Col.
