On the 26^th of April 2018, a joint Ukrainian, Georgian and Moldovan Parliamentary delegation visited the NATO Energy Security Centre of Excellence as a part of the 4 days visit to the Republic of Lithuania. The Centre's Director Colonel Gintaras Bagdonas welcomed them with Ms. Julia Vainio, the Subject Matter Expert of the Strategic Analysis and Research Division, and Mr. Otar Mosiashvili, the Subject Matter Expert of the Doctrine and Concept Development Division.
