NATO and the Partnership for Peace Consortium of Defence Academies and Security Studies Institutes hosted the 12th Clearing House on Defence Education in Bled, Slovenia, from 20 to 21 June 2023, with support from the Slovenian Armed Forces Military Schools Centre. The Clearing House was opened by the Chief of the General Staff of the Slovenian Armed Forces, Major General Robert Glavaš. “With a grave deterioration of the security situation in Europe after 2014, the importance of interoperability and professional military training and education in the Alliance and in partner nations has become of crucial importance,” Major General Glavaš said. “Only well trained military personnel will be able to deal with current and future security challenges, and helping partner nations develop their professional military education must remain one of our most important goals,” he added.
