Drug market-related violence in focus at EUDA technical meeting
This month, we hosted a technical meeting on Drug market-related violence in Europe: current situation, monitoring and responses, bringing together experts from across Europe to examine one of the most pressing security challenges linked to illicit drug markets today. Drug market-related violence has become an increasing concern in parts of Europe, fuelled by competition between criminal networks involved in the production, trafficking and distribution of illicit drugs. While the nature and intensity of this violence vary across countries, its impact can be significant, affecting communities, public safety and confidence in institutions. The meeting (15–16 June), held under the EUDA presidency of the EU Justice and Home Affairs Agencies' Network (see below), brought together JHA agencies and national and European experts and research partners.
