The campaign is aimed at nine countries identified collectively as “region of concern” due to their proximity to countries where ASF is present. These countries are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia.

The campaign aims to raise awareness and understanding of ASF in this region of concern. EFSA will engage with veterinary organisations, hunting associations, farmers’ groups, customs officers, border police, local governments, tourist operators, and travellers.

The campaign will complement the ongoing efforts of the European Commission and other international organisations to work towards the eradication of the disease in Europe.

EFSA will be sharing factsheets, infographics, ready-to-use social media posts and other materials. Find out more about ASF on the campaign website: www.efsa.europa.eu/StopASF
