On 19 February 2016, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Stockholm, together with the National Headquarters of the State Fire Service of the Republic of Poland (KGSP) and the CBSS Secretariat, co-hosted a seminar focusing on the BLP and future development of the leadership programme. The way ahead, after the end of financial and organisational support from the Swedish Institute, was discussed. During the Annual Meeting of Directors General for Civil Protection on 6-7 June 2016 in Gdańsk, it was agreed to continue the Programme. The BLP will be renamed Baltic Excellence Programme (BEP) and will be co-organised on a biennial basis and financed by the CPN Troika (three consecutive CNP presidencies).
