POLICE-RELATED ACTIVITIES OF FIELD OPERATIONS SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE going reforms in the security sector, including police reform, migration, and the fight against corruption and organized crime. This activity is part of the Mission’s overall efforts to strengthen partnership between the police, government actors and civil society in addressing safety concerns. From 23 to 25 May, the Mission, together with the MoD, organized a study visit to the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, a public administration/science university in Pisa, Italy. The delegation consisted of six members, five representatives of the MoD and one representative of the Ministry of European Integration. The delegation discussed potential co-operation between the university and the MoD in the field of training civilian personnel for crisis management missions and certification of training courses within the capacity-building programme, “Europe’s New Training Initiative for Civilian Crisis Management” (ENTRi). From 13 to 14 December, the Mission, together with the Republic Public Prosecutor, the MoI, and media and journalist associations, organized a training seminar on the safety of journalists. This activity aimed at assisting in the implementation of the Agreement on Co-operation and Measures to Increase the Safety of Journalists6. The Mission’s three Departments, Media, Rule of Law and Human Rights, and Security Co-operation, joined efforts to support the training, which focused on the criminal protection of journalists. Some 30 journalists had the opportunity to exchange views with representatives of the prosecution and the police in this important area. On 26 November, the Mission, in partnership with the MoD, launched a two-week pilot pre-deployment course for future civilian seconders to international missions of the OSCE, the EU and the UN. The training course will ultimately become a regular component of the national system for secondment preparation. During the course, 22 participants learned about deployment procedures and international organizations deploying civilian missions. It will also allow participants to be better equipped for secondment to such missions and to learn about respective mandates and activities. 6 This Agreement was signed in December 2016 by the Ministry of Interior, the Republic Public Prosecutor, and seven journalists and media associations.
