From 7th to 8th February 2008, the Carabinieri "Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units", in Vicenza, hosted the annual meeting Police Commissioners/Senior Police Advisors.

The Police Advisor of the DPKO, Mr. Andrew Hughes, has met the Police Commissioners of the UN peacekeeping missions in Liberia, Sudan, Georgia, Kossovo, Timor Est, Darfur, Burundi, Cyprus, Ivory Coast, the Central Africa Republic, Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, and Congo. This high profile meeting has allowed the participants to exchange experiences and to confront their opinions about the employment of Formed Police Units in peace support operations; the intent is to develop a common operational and training system for the FORMED POLICE UNITS.

The importance of the Center of Excellence, as "doctrinal hub" in the peace support operations field has been again recognized.
