Kos emphasized that the platform of this center is currently being drafted and will be discussed at the political level on September 4th.

They are being offered capacity building to strengthen their resilience against hybrid threats, including information manipulation.

The platform of this center is currently being drafted, which will be discussed at the political level on September 4 at the meeting of chief diplomats from the EU and candidate countries," Kos said./CNA
