On October 18, the Permanent Mission of Greece to the United Nations met with a delegation of the Southeastern Europe Brigade (SEEBRIG), led by Commander Brigadier General Bilbil Bitri. Discussions focused on current security challenges, as well as the development of new ways for the UN to acquire a more active role in the peacekeeping operations.
The South-Eastern Europe Brigade or SEEBRIG is a multinational brigade with forces from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, North Macedonia, Romania, and Turkiye. It was established in 1999 following the Multinational Peace Force South-Eastern Europe (MPFSEE) agreement concluded the year before. The brigade is available for UN, NATO, or EU peacekeeping missions and numbers some 5,000 troops. 2024 marks its 25th anniversary.
