The first COBATEST Steering Committee meeting for 2024 was held in Zagreb, Croatia, on May 30th and 31st. For the first time, the meeting was hosted not in the secretariat’s country, but in the home country of a Steering Committee member. This year, Davor Dubravic from the HUHIV organization in Croatia served as the host. Additionally, the meeting marked the debut of two new committee members, Nino Tsereteli from the Tanadgoma organization in Georgia and Mihai Lixandru from the ARAS organization in Romania. The Steering Committee discussed the planning of the 2024 SC elections, the annual COBATEST members’ meeting, potential funding opportunities, and other COBATEST activities to support the network’s members.
