Recognizing that South Eastern Europe is not only one of the transit regions in Europe, but also a destination, first conference of the Bled Process on Stolen Vehicle Crime was organized in March 2004 under auspices of the Stability Pact for Southeast Europe. Annual meetings of the Bled Conference increased the importance of the processes to enhance national and regional activities in fighting stolen vehicle crime.

In particular, the 3^rd and the 4^th Bled Conference gave clear guidance to the participating countries to develop National Action Plans (NAP) on Defeating Stolen Vehicle Crime in South Eastern Europe. The NAPs include the national cooperation of state authorities such as Police, Border Police, Tax authorities, Registration offices and additionally, private economy such as insurance companies. During the 4^th Bled Conference conclusions were adopted that RCC should call for the 5^th Bled Conference on Stolen Vehicle Crime and, with its capacities, further monitor the NAP implementation, building cooperation with the twinning partners and SEPCA as the peer review body of the process.

Following RCC Statutory obligation to provide guidance to and receive substantive input from relevant task forces and initiatives active in specific thematic areas of co-operation as well as role of the Secretariat to act, through the network of its Expert Pool as a coordination framework for regional cooperation activities in South East Europe, underling economic consequences of the Stolen Vehicle Crime, it is of particular importance for all participating members from the region to show their achievements in suppressing this type of crime and to prepare necessary preconditions for closing of the Bled Process in 2011.
