The delegation was met by the MPBn Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Vasko Kokolanski and representatives of the MPBn command and staff. During the two-day visit the delegation had the opportunity to familiarize with the role and the mission of the unit, its structure, equipment, experience gained from participating in missions and with the challenges the unit is facing while supporting MIA units in dealing with the refugee crisis at the south border.
