Counter-Terrorism On 11-12 April, the Mission, in co-operation with the TNTD/ATU and the Montenegrin PD, organized a two-day seminar on effective policies and measures to counter Violent Extremism and Radicalization that Lead to Terrorism (VELRT). 15 police officers from the Office for Crime Prevention and Community Policing and five representatives from civil society took part in the seminar. The discussion focused on: radicalization as a key issue of concern for communities in the context of community policing, leveraging community policing in preventing terrorism and countering VERLT; addressing the challenge of how the perception that community policing is a tool for intelligence-gathering operations can be avoided, how counter-terrorism work can be maximised without changing the nature of community policing, how to apply community policing in cases where (violent) radicalization is already widespread; and the way forward in Montenegro. ****** 4.4 The OSCE Mission to Serbia Background The OSCE Mission to Serbia and its Law Enforcement Department (LED) assist Serbia in the reform of the police service in order to strengthen effective and democratic policing. As Serbia further integrates into European structures, the police service has continued to advance, increasing its level of professionalism and accountability. The co-operation with Serbia’s Government is based on the strategic framework document – a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed between the Mission and the Ministry of Interior (MoI) in 2009.
