DISCUSSIONS Workshops Details 1 st WORKSHOP - MARCH 2014 Discussion on CBRN risk scenarios potentially affecting the country: � � Theft or trafficking of radioactive sources � Natural outbreaks of infectious diseases � Accidental exposure to radioactive scrap metal � Improper disposal of CBRN waste � Natural disaster causing release of chemical materials/waste at chemical facility Identification of major CBRN risks affecting Montenegro and � discussion on capabilities in place to mitigate those risks Preparation of the first draft CBRN National Action Plan � 2 nd WORKSHOP - JANUARY 2015 3 rd WORKSHOP - MAY 2015 • Review of the first draft • Review of the second draft • Further discussion on existing capabilities to mitigate • Further discussion on risks, capabilities and CBRN risks objectives related to the BIO field • Identification of strategic objectives and concrete • Identification of concrete actions to fulfill strategic actions to fulfill these objectives objectives • Preparation of the second draft

3rd WORKSHOP BIO Component Important issues discussed • Identify existing national capacities and gaps in the national bio-risk mitigation strategy • Elaborates concrete actions to fill in gaps • Prevention: − Primary and secondary legislation for the prevention of spread of communicable diseases − Reporting of outbreak of communicable diseases, epidemiological network, electronic communication − Information exchange about outbreak of zoonotic diseases − Mapping of laboratories/institutes handling pathogens, including biosafety levels − Biosafety and biosecurity measures for facilities handling bio materials − Mapping specialized treatment facilities for highly infectious patients (quarantine) − Disposal of biological waste (labs/hospitals) − Cooperation with border police/customs with regard to implementation of WHO IHR

3rd WORKSHOP BIO Component Important issues discussed • Detection − Available detection capabilities − SOPs and quality assurance − Specialized/reference laboratories − Regional/international cooperation • Preparedness and response with specialized/reference laboratories − Combined national bio-risk assessment − Cooperation with border (health – civil protection) police/customs to support − Response plan for handling outbreak of identification of transfers of diseases on a 7days/24hrs approach biological materials − Availability of trained first and secondary response teams (dedicated functions, SOPs) − Availability of medical secondary response personnel to handle patients injured by CBRN materials − Availability of adequate equipment/resources − Interagency training − Regular training programs in the field of epidemiology and detection − Communication strategy for the public − Regional assistance agreements

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES CBRN NAP Structure Identification of priorities • Enhancement of: - training capabilities on biosafety and biosecurity - awareness on RN safety and security at ports PREVENTION - inter-agency coordination and cooperation •Improvement of information exchange between authorities in charge of export licensing and customs bio-security in laboratories • Enhancement of: - capacities for mobile detection and qualitative analysis of chemicals - detection capabilities for chemical and RN materials at border crossing points • Establishment of channels of cooperation and communication with relevant laboratories DETECTION for sampling and identification of chemical materials • Improvement of quality of diagnostic results • Contribution to the establishment of a regional network of reference laboratories • Establishment of unit for treatment of poisoned persons with trained toxicologists in case of accidents involving chemical materials PREPAREDNESS • Improvement in information exchange on human and animal infections diseases with AND neighboring countries RESPONSE • Provision of CBRN response team with adequate training and mobile equipment
