drafting the Strategic Document on E-learning as a Support to the Development of the
Existing Training System in the Ministry of Interior which was intended to lay grounds for the
development of the action plan for the systematic introduction of this contemporary teaching
method across the MoI.
In line with the strategic document which was approved in March by the Minister of Interior,
the LED organized a workshop for developing the Action Plan for the Introduction of Elearning to Support the Development of the Existing Training System in the Ministry of
Interior. A first draft of the Action Plan was developed by the joint MoI/OSCE Working Group
and the document was approved in July 2011.
From 11-15 April, the LED, together with the MoI’s Basic Police Training Centre, hosted a
regional training on the topic of the use of force by the police. Participants were police
trainers involved in basic and in-service training in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. Apart from
enhancing the co-operation in the region in the field of police training, the seminar also
attempted to establish more effective links between basic and in-service training in terms of
content, techniques and training methodologies. This activity came as a follow-up to the
similar regional training held in 2010.
The LED also continued to assist the Serbian MoI in developing the “Trainer Development
Programme”. In May, the department reviewed the Trainer Development Course and
provided recommendations for its further development. In June, the LED supported the
running of two cycles of the “Trainer Development Programme”.
The LED continued supporting basic police training through the development of an overall
plan of evaluation focusing on human and financial resources, results, and the legislative
framework. The primary goal of this evaluation was to assess the result of the training of the
first and second generation of graduates at the MoI’s Basic Police Training Centre and to
identify the amendments that are necessary in the existing curricula. The support provided to
graduates within the MoI structures was to be evaluated as well as the changes that should
be introduced in the overall basic police training system.
In July 2011, the LED, together with the MoI’s Basic Police Training Centre, organized the
seminar “Modern Use of Library in Police Education and Training”. The participants were 15
training staff members from the Centre who had the opportunity to learn how to incorporate
modern library management principles in the training process. This seminar came as a
complementary activity to the Library Renovation bilateral project, funded by the Norwegian
Government and aimed to ensure the sustainability of the Basic Police Training Centre’s
ability to maintain and further develop its training capacity.
Consolidation of the basic police training was the focus of the Training Programme in the last
quarter of 2011. The “Third Annual Police Field Training Coordinators Seminar” gathered 40
police field training co-ordinators from Belgrade City Police. The seminar provided an
opportunity for police training co-ordinators to discuss the development and changes that
need to be introduced in the implementation of the practical phases of the basic police
training. As announced, the Mission staff was withdrawn from the Centre in December 2011,
which marked the closure of one of the Mission’s most significant achievements in police
reform in Serbia to date.
In April, the LED continued activities in the area of developing police service mechanisms to
deal with the victims of crime. The department designed a publication to raise awareness
which could be used as a learning tool for systematic solutions of issues and problems faced
by victims of various crimes. The publication depicts the international perspective and the
conditions in Serbia regarding the police, judiciary, legislation, healthcare system, and work
of non-governmental organizations. This publication was one of the elements in the area in
