African Swine Fever (ASF) has been present in Poland and the Baltic countries since 2014. For almost two years the disease has been confined along the borders of Poland and the Baltic countries with Belarus and Russia. However, in 2016 there was a number of new outbreaks of ASF in the swine and wild boar populations that spread westward. In October 2016, Poland organized a meeting of Chief Veterinary Officers (CVO), high level Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs officials, and representatives of the European Commission from 11 countries affected or endangered by the outbreak of ASF. The main goal of the meeting was to discuss the current status of the ASF outbreaks and enhance cooperation in the region of Central and Eastern Europe in fighting the disease.
