Greece heads peace brigade

Greece has assumed command of the Southeast European Multinational Brigade (SEEBRIG).

SEEBRIG is a multinational peace brigade with forces from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, North Macedonia, Romania and Turkey.

The brigade’s stated aim and commitment is to contribute to regional security and stability, and to foster good neighborly relations among countries in the region.
