57 non-medical staff during medical check-up. Police officers in the PS Bela Palanka shall in cases a doctor requires their presence, be present in the course of medical check-up in a way that they shall not be able to hear the conversation between a doctor and a detainee. Police officers of the PA Pirot and police stations in its composition shall, in case when medical check-up of a detainee is made, state in writing whether a police officer was present at a medical check-up or not. The Ministry of the Interior shall amend the valid Instructions on Treatment of Persons Brought-in or Detained and harmonize them with the Council of Europe standards, which shall then stipulate that police officer shall not be present in the course of a medical check-up of detainees, unless a doctor making a check-up requires so. PS Bela Palanka shall enable its detainees to keep given decision on detention, and all other relevant documentations (forms on the rights, confirmation of seized items and similar) with himself/herself in the course of detentions. In the PA Pirot and police stations in its composition, transcript of detention shall be given to a detainee for insight and signature if detained in line with the LCP. Police officers in the PA Pirot and police stations in its composition shall not use restraints every time when transporting persons, but shall do so only after having cautiously observed specific circumstances which indicate to the need to handcuff certain person, and in the cases stipulated by law. The Ministry of the Interior shall amend the Instructions on Treatment of Persons Brought-in or Detained in a way to prescribe that all restraint devices shall be used only if really necessary, and not in the course of transport, i.e. transport of each person being brought-in, as it is the case now. The NPM standpoint is that in the future work, police officers of the PA Pirot should get written statements from persons subject to coercive measures in relation with circumstances surrounding the use of coercive measures and infliction of possible injuries so as to have more complete insight is all circumstances of the case, in order to assess justification and regularity of the use of coercive measures in the most objective fashion. Taking into account that the Law on the Protection of Persons with Mental Disorders prescribes police assistance, as well as bringing in of persons to a health care institution for the purpose of check-up (when there is a doubt that a person with mental impairment are concerned), the NPM standpoint is that it is necessary to organize training for police officers of all PA in the Republic of Serbia in treatment of persons with mental disorders.

PA Pirot shall undertake all necessary measures to install CCTV system in the detention room in the PS Babušnica, and to keep/archive recordings for a period not less than 30 days.
