Summary/Abstract: The decision to produce the regional annual report on arms exports for South East Europe was made in July 2009 in Montenegro, at the “Conference on a Regional Report on Arms Exports” facilitated by SEESAC. On this occasion, representatives of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia agreed on a methodology and committed to publish their arms exports data in a joint publication. Consequently, the first report was published in December 2009. In 2012, Croatia began contributing its data as well, making the Annual Report on Arms Exports in 2010 first six-state effort. The participating states had, at that time, already been producing national reports that contained detailed information on their respective arms exports. Since 2007, with the support of SEESAC, thirty-nine (39) of these reports have been translated into English language and printed. The national reports should remain the primary source of information on each country’s arms exports.
