On 18.04.2007 the Chiefs of Defence / General Staffs (CHODs) of the Armed Forces
of the Balkan Countries during a Conference held in Thessaloniki confirmed their
will to improve multilateral military cooperation, between their countries, in
order to coherently meet the regional security challenges. The enhancement of
the military cooperation will further underline the vital role assumed by Balkan
Countries, in the International Organizations and Alliance, which they belong
to.

During this conference a draft of "The Terms of Reference of the Balkan
Countries' CHODs Conference on Military Cooperation” has been discussed and the
formal signing of this document took place on 10.05.2007 in Brussels.

The main aim of this initiative is to promote stability, cooperation and
well-being of the countries in this region.

In accordance with the abovementioned document, the participants committed
themselves to cooperate in the development of military relations to improve and
promote military cooperation within the region at all levels and contribute to
the adequate response to potential asymmetric threats.

In compliance with the TORs, member states established a CHODs Forum in order to
coordinate cooperation efforts. This forum is held annually at CHOD level and
each participating nation will host it on a rotation or an ad hoc basis.

This forum is chaired by the Host Nation CHOD and supported by appropriate
subject matter experts.

CHODs Forum TORs are as follows:

- To provide the framework for discussions and necessary guidance on military
cooperation and security related issues;

- To provide platform required overview of these activities;

- To explore the new possibilities for military cooperation among the
participants.

All decisions concerning the agenda of each conference are to be made on
consensual basis.

Due to the fact that all participants are either NATO or EAPC members, nations
agreed to follow NATO SOPs as appropriate. NATO Terms and Definitions are also
applied for practical reasons.

Coordination Group had been assigned in order to facilitate the arrangement of
the meetings and initiation of relevant activities to be conducted. This team is
composed of the Directors of respective Plans & Policy Branches or equivalent
(OF-5 and above). Normally, the Coordination Group is chaired by senior
representative of the nation, which will host the next CHODs Forum meeting. This
group is to prepare and disseminate an annual progress report and make
recommendations to the CHODs with regard to the way ahead. This report is to be
submitted to CHODs Forum for endorsement.

The Coordination Group Chairman is responsible for the promulgation and
distribution of the minutes of the conference.

The preconditions for accession of new members are as follows:

- Full compliance and conformity with the TORs;

- Unanimous consent of the full members.

Each member nation could make proposals for amendments to the TORs. All members’
written consent is required before these amendments become effective.

Each member state could denounce and pull out of TORs by giving relevant notice
to other members at least 30 days prior to the due date.
