with the KP and EULEX. The workshop, which was held at the OMIK headquarters, was attended by 20 delegates and examined progress made by the KP over the last 12 months. Progress was particularly visible with respect to the integration of community policing into ILP and with regard to the fact that the KP had successfully executed the majority of the recommendations formulated by a similar workshop hosted by the DSPS in the previous year. It was also acknowledged that the European Commission (EC) project to fund a new criminal intelligence IT infrastructure for the KP would have a significant positive impact on ILP and complemented the activities of the DSPS. The EC-funded IT infrastructure project for the KP was still ongoing and the project was expected to resume in the first quarter of 2013. Between 7-13 May, the Department also organized training for eleven officers from the KP on “The Role of Criminal Intelligence against Organized Crime”. The course was held in Turkey and conducted in partnership with the Turkish National Police, utilising case studies. On 27 October, the Department organized and hosted a one-day round table meeting for KP senior command staff in order to review the organizational progress that had been made with the implementation of ILP. The meeting, held at the OMIK headquarters in Pristina, was a follow-up to a previous meeting, held in March, which had resulted in a number of recommendations and action plans aimed at advancing ILP implementation. The majority of these recommendations had been addressed with the assistance and support of the DSPS in the meantime. The Deputy General Director of the KP publicly acknowledged that most of the achievements in relation to the 2012 activities had come as a result of the ongoing support from the Department, especially in the area of tasking and co-ordination. From 29 October to 2 November, the Department delivered a training course on the “Management of Tasking and Co-ordination Meetings” to ten KP officers ranking from Lieutenants to Lt. Colonels. This training, held at KAPS, was delivered by an external consultant with extensive experience on criminal investigations and was part of the DSPS’ ILP programme. On 20 November, the DSPS chaired a round table on “Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Enforcement in Kosovo” at the OMIK headquarters. Prior to this, in October, the Department had conducted fact finding research on IPR. The Department presented the findings and recommendations from an internal briefing paper on The Institutional Landscape of Kosovo’s Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Sector to the participants, including representatives from the KP, Customs, the Market Inspectorate, the Industrial Property Office, the Office for Copyright & Related Rights and delegates from the private sector. It was recognized that the distribution and sale of counterfeit goods in Kosovo was a serious problem, generating huge profits for criminal networks and providing a lucrative business stream for organized crime. It was jointly concluded that the existing legal framework fit the purpose for dealing with IPR infringements, but that there was little understanding among the various law enforcement agencies regarding IPR, as well as an overall lack of activities in solving such issues. The meeting also highlighted the need for raising awareness among judges, prosecutors and the general public about the issue. The report itself and the proposals for a multi-agency approach to related training activities in 2013 were welcomed by all participants who unanimously agreed and supported the Department’s capacity building initiatives for 2013. From 2-6 July, the DSPS organized a five-day training programme on “Informant Handling” for 15 officers from the KP, which took place at KAPS. This training provided operational front-line detectives with theoretical and practical lessons and case studies to fully equip them with the skills to properly apply the principles of Covert Human Intelligence Source (CHIS) management, in accordance with internationally recognized law enforcement standards. From 3-7 September, the DSPS organized and delivered “Anti-Narco Terrorism” training for 16 KP officers whose work could involve issues relating to narcotics and terrorism. Officers 59
