On 2 October, the Mission’s LED and Democratisation Department jointly hosted the next informal “Coordination Meeting on Gender and Security Sector Reform”. On this occasion, the meeting gathered representatives of UNWOMEN, UNDP/SEESAC and the Norwegian Embassy. Participants shared updates on their activities in the reform of the security sector that had a gender component, particularly mentioning bilateral activities. Furthermore, participants shared information as regards challenges that Serbia faces in implementing the National Action Plan for the UN SC Resolution 1325. In this regard, they agreed that possibilities for joint statements would be explored to advocate for invigorating the process. From 26-30 August, a delegation from the Armenian police visited the MoI in Belgrade to familiarise themselves with Serbia’s police reform, especially its gender mainstreaming approach. The OSCE Mission to Serbia, in collaboration with the OSCE Office in Yerevan, organized this initiative. Four senior representatives of the Armenian police discussed with their Serbian counterparts lessons learned and best practices on the recruitment of women to the police service. A series of meetings were held between the visiting delegation and representatives of the BPTC, the Human Resources Department of the MoI, as well as the Police Education and Uniformed Police Directorates. Separate talks took also place with representatives of the Academy for Criminology and Police Studies, civil society organizations and international stakeholders active in gender mainstreaming within Security Sector Reform. Community Policing In April 2013, the MoI adopted the Community Policing Strategy, following years of preparation and continuous support by the Mission. The Mission also provided support in developing the accompanying Action Plan, which, however, was not published by the end of 2013. In 2013, the Mission also supported the implementation of 14 micro projects in 14 police districts of Serbia. The initiatives aimed to enhance community policing efforts and are tailormade to address specific challenges identified at the municipal level. On 5 February, the Mission and the Belgrade City Police organized a public event in a Roma settlement in Cukarica Municipality in Belgrade, inviting residents to register and obtain personal identification documents.

The project aimed to raise awareness among the Roma population on the importance of being registered and having legal identification. The police distributed leaflets in both Serbian and Roma languages explaining the procedures for obtaining IDs and passports and the importance of registering to properly exercise citizenship and other rights in Serbia. Approximately 50 residents of the settlement attended the event.
