The Vienna Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations (CONGO) is organizing a Forum for NGOs of Central and Eastern Europe "to establish or improve relations with [the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime] and [the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe]." It is intended as a forum in which the NGOs can meet with Vienna-based NGOs as well as UNOCD and OSCE to develop measures to combat crime, "especially trafficking in human beings, corruption and urban crime." A panel of NGOs in Vienna will select the NGOs that will be invited to participate. CONGO is asking Central and Eastern European NGOs that are interested in the Forum to indicate their interest to CONGO by emailing congovie@ngocongo.org.
