ECAD visited Moscow city this week in order to prepare the coming Mayors` conference programme and logistics, meet with the government officials and plan a study visit as a part of social programme at the Mayors` conference in May 13-15, 2Kremlin_in_January013.

We met with the all-Russian public organisation Narcological League representatives, Moscow city administrative officials and Russia`s Chief narcologist Evgeny Brun at the Russian Ministry of Health and Social Development and also with his colleague, senior drug treatment specialist Yelena Sokolchik. Russian Ministry of Health was informed about ECAD visit to Moscow too and a meeting was scheduled.

Our partner organisation in Moscow, All-Russian Narcological League is very much involved in ECAD efforts to stop as many as possible from experimenting with drugs and to help as many as possible to escape from substance addiction. This NGO focuses on spreading prevention information and latest research all over Russia. High professionalism and knowledge of  Russian Narcological League will be the basis for coordinating ECAD work in Russia.

ECAD expects Mayors` conference in Moscow to be well-attended. The location is in the heart of Moscow city, it is the headquarters of the Mayor of Moscow, right in front of the Russian White House and conference premises are actually best equipped and largest in Russia. Conference programme will be published soon and our guests will not be disappointed.


One of the important issues ECAD will be working with the Russian partners in the coming weeks is providing vMoskva_Red_Square_GUMisa support for the conference guests.
