Protecting Austrias Southern Border during the Summer of 1991 - Memories and Lessons Learned

We are extremely happy that after several years of planning we are finally succeeded at scheduling a podium discussion about the Border Protection Mission during the crisis in former Jugoslavia during summer 1991.

On Friday August 29 we will recap the historical European context, the run-up to the mission and the month of active Austrian military presence at the border to Jugoslavia.

Together with some of the leading commanders of this mission we will discuss the history of this mission as well as lessons learned.

New Video-Series on our Youtube Channel
