POLICE-RELATED ACTIVITIES OF FIELD OPERATIONS SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE Traffic safety The Mission supported a working visit of two senior traffic police officials to the Hungarian National Police, Traffic Safety and Security Department in Budapest and the Highway Police in Szeged from 30 May to 1 June. The visit aimed at enhancing the capacities of the Montenegrin traffic police in managing surveillance cameras that will be placed at 72 locations on Montenegrin roads. This system will be networked with border crossings to ensure that traffic offenders will not be able to leave Montenegro without paying a fine. The officials also had the opportunity to see how the automated radar systems and Speed Recording Cameras placed on the motorway work. They learned about the EU Traffic Regulations on Highway Security and Control in place on the Hungarian Highway M5, which is connected to a border crossing with Serbia that serves as a point of entry into the Schengen Area. Small arms and light weapons On 9 July, the Mission supported the MoI in marking the ‘Small Arms Destruction Day’, which also served as a reminder of the threats posed by excess, poorly secured and illegal SALW. The MoI organized the public destruction of 1,140 pieces of SALW and 214 SALW parts in the furnaces of the Ferrous Metallurgy Institute in Nikšić. Most of the SALW destroyed on this occasion came from the “Respect Life – Return Weapons” SALW Public Awareness and Illicit Weapons Collection Campaign that the Mission carried out together with the MoI, UNDP and the NGO ‘Centre for Democratic Transition’ between June 2015 and March 20161. The event was supported by the European Union and the UNDP South Eastern Europe Clearinghouse for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons as a part of a regional effort that included other countries in the Western Balkans. 1 Ref.
