The Prague Process Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM) took place in Berlin on 28-29 October 2014 and gathered 84 participants from 41 states, the European Commission (DG Home), the Council of the European Union, Frontex, ICMPD, IOM and UNHCR.

At the occasion of the 5th Anniversary of the Prague Process, the SOM aimed at taking stock of the developments since the existence of the Process and initiated the discussion about its future, which will be accompanied by the evaluation of the Prague Process Action Plan 2012 - 2016 and mapping of activities that do support its implementation. The discussion and formulation of the future direction will continue through 4 preparatory SOMs in 2015 and 2016 and will finish with the 3rd Ministerial Conference, which will take place in Bratislava on 3-4 October 2016. The results of the evaluation process will be introduced at the Ministerial Conference, where a document setting the priorities and actions for 2017-2021 should be endorsed.
