Border and Migration Police In 2010, the Presence continued to promote the concept of sub-regional, cross-border cooperation between the border police of the South-Eastern European countries of Albania, Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Kosovo/UNMIK. In addition, the Presence fostered the relationship between Albanian border authorities and the border authorities of Italy and Greece. The Presence aimed to increase the operational capabilities and the effectiveness of the Albanian Border and Migration Police (BMP) and the relevant Regional Police Directorates. The inclusion of the Police Directorates in the process also permitted cross-border liaison to take place with other elements of the police forces, such as the Criminal Investigation Departments (CID) and anti-drug police, helping them to perform their tasks in addressing organized crime along Albania’s borders. As a result of the cross-border co-operation process, mutual trust and co-operation between the police in the region was further improved and strengthened. Past cross-border cooperation has lead to the development of more effective, intelligence-led policing methodologies. The activities for achieving such co-operation have been regular meetings known as Joint Border Co-operation Meetings (JBCMs). These meetings were held on a regular basis between corresponding levels of police authorities at operational and administrative command. Joint training activities, such as training for joint procedures at the Joint BCPs, also increased cross-border co-operation and these training needs have been identified through the JBCM process. Organized Crime in General The Presence provided comments on the draft law "On Preventing and Striking at Organized Crime" as well as on the draft law amending the Criminal Code, the so called "Anti Mafia Law". Criminal Analysis/Investigation/Witness Protection In co-operation with ICITAP and Pameca III, the first training for investigators of the Internal Control Service of the Ministry of Interior was provided to 26 investigators. In 2011, two more trainings were planned to be provided in order to increase the number of certified investigators to 75. The Presence donated sophisticated equipment for the "Covert Monitoring Suite" in the Headquarters of the Albanian State Police, following a twinning project of the EU in which the people had been trained in the subject. The Presence also supported the provision of proper equipment and training for the staff of the control room to support covert operations with the Criminal Investigations Department. Special equipment for the control room was purchased partly by the ASP and partly by external donors including the OSCE. The Presence continued to participate in the meetings of the International Consortium Legal Reform Working Group and the Witness Protection Working Group where discussions on criminal justice reform took place. 36
