“We are proud that the tenth edition of the Summit reaffirmed our mission to connect the entire region through knowledge, innovation, and partnership – says Mahir Hodžić, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of Adria Security Summit. – Skopje became the center of Europe’s security industry during these days, which gives us further motivation to expand this concept and continue improving a platform that contributes to the development of the sector”.
