During the SARAJEVO visit COMEUFOR also witnessed a Mine Risk Education (MRE) lesson delivered to pupils at POFALICI Primary School. The lesson was delivered by OF-2 Lubos JANUSKA, OR-8 Juraj ZUBEK and translated by Izet Eljsani.
MRE provides children and adults with the knowledge of the possible threat and how best to avoid it. The content is delivered by EUFOR’s Liaison and Observation Teams (LOTs) and Mine Information Coordination Cell (MICC). The training is closely regulated by the BiH Government to international standards. Each LOT is provided with an educational ‘package’ so they are able to travel to schools, workplaces and homes to give the presentations to those who need it.
