Despite the chill in regular military cooperation, Norwegian and Russian rescue centers will team up with coast guard forces from both countries for a joint exercise on search and rescue and oil spill preparedness.
The joint exercise, called “Barents 2015,” will be arranged as planned in the border areas in the Varanger Fjord in June, Alf Kristiansen of the Norwegian Coastal Administration tells BarentsObserver.
The annual exercise takes place in the Varanger Fjord in the beginning of June on both Russian and Norwegian territory. Planning of the exercise alters between the two countries, and this year it is Russia that is responsible for planning and organizing, and also for the overall management of the drills.
