4.2 Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina Cybercrime On 16 October, as part of its cybercrime and cyber security activities, the Mission organized a workshop on Cyber Security Training and Awareness for various BiH institutions, including the agencies for training police and judges. Mission representatives introduced OSCE cyber projects, and explored the possibility of organizing local training courses upon the termination of the ToT programmes within the “Capacity Building for Criminal Justice Practitioners Combating Cybercrime and Cyber-enabled Crime in SEE” project. National cyber experts and practitioners exchanged their views and practices and presented on the current situation and deficiencies in their respective areas of work. Future action was streamlined and defined during the workshop. On 27 and 28 November, the Mission held its 10th Annual Review Conference on BiH’s Compliance with OSCE and UN Security Commitments, gathering over 50 local and regional security experts and representatives of government institutions, international organizations and civil society. The Review addressed a number of security topics including cyber security, which was characterized as one of the priorities in the forthcoming implementation period. The recommendations produced at the Conference set the course for activities in 2018 and beyond. These included defining the Cyber Security Strategy of BiH, harmonizing legislation, and developing cyber education and awareness on the responsible use of ITC. Border Security and Management / Customs Based on the BiH Ministry of Security’s request, the Mission supported the implementation of the Integrated Border Management Strategy by helping to develop an Action Plan for 2018 and preparing a new Integrated Border Management Strategy for Bosnia and Herzegovina for 2019 – 2021. This occurred during two Mission-organized workshops, from 21 to 23 November in Banja Luka and on 19 and 20 December in Jahorina. The OSCE’s “comprehensive border management concept”, which necessitates a “wide governmental” approach to border issues, was applied during the workshops. Special focus was placed on the prevention of all forms of crossborder crime, particularly illegal migration. Most guidelines for intra-agency, inter-agency and international co-operation contained in the Strategy and its Action Plans have been implemented or are currently in the implementation phase, which help to achieve a more functional and efficient system of border management in BiH.
