The fifth Regional Euro Atlantic Camp REACT 2012, organized by the Alfa Centar was held in municipality of Mojkovac in Montenegro from 28.07.2012 until 03.09.2012. There were 303 applicants from twenty-two countries that applied for the Camp from which the expert council of Alfa Centar chose 80 participants. Among the 80 participants, there were three representatives from the Presidency of YATA Macedonia: lija Kiroski, Selma Biberovic and Hristian Despotovski.

REACT camp was conducted through a series of interactive lectures and discussion panels held by experts, professors, ambassadors, politicians and NGO representatives. Мany historical and cultural landmarks of Mojkovac have been  visited and there were organized  a lot of sports activities.

During the Camp, participants were able to listen to new ideas and exchange experiences about euro-atlantic integration, regional cooperation, diplomacy, security and new security challenges. Lectures and discussion panels were about  current issues related to NATO, smart defence, cyber terrorism, crisis management, the Euro-Atlantic values​​, organized crime, corruption, etc. whereas the participants got a broad spectrum of information about today's current events and the importance of integration into Euro-Atlantic organizations.

This type work of REACT 2012 proved to be the best one, because except of formal, informal conditions were created to test participant’s knowledge, debate and discuss about constructive solutions of problems that concern our region.

REACT 2012 participants concluded that peace and cooperation are necessary and headed the following message:

“We, the participants of the Fifth REACT Camp, Mojkovac 2012 and representatives of 22 different nations are here sending this Message of Peace showing the world that we are the same in our diversity, sharing and striving to common goals and values.

With this Message of Peace we would like to invite all people of good will, with high conscience and sense of responsibility, regardless of religious, political and ideological differences to unite under the flag of friendship and love. Let us not repeat the mistakes of our ancestors and make the world better place for living with less conflicts and more freedom and democracy. Let us understand among ourselves in our differences, live with each other and not one beside another and bear the uttermost goal: strive for freedom.

We must remember that those differences are meant for the human beings to achieve happiness. We must not lose our fundamental goal and at no time should we place means above goals; the supremacy of humanity over matter and ideology must always be maintained.

We, the participants of the Fifth REACT are therefore fully supporting the integration processes in the twenty first century. The integrated civilizations of Alley is a security umbrella for all of us together because we all share the same problems and challenges and the only way to over come  them is through mutual cooperation, tolerance and understanding. This universal humanitarian approach to  world problems is the only sound foundation for the world peace.

So, let us stand and be active in the name of Peace. Let us REACT! “
