On 25 November, the Mission organized a workshop for law enforcement officials from Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia on the use of operational analysis as a tool to counter organized crime. Twenty participants learned about the regional mechanisms crime analysts employ in identifying patterns and trends necessary for their reports. Participants were also acquainted with the methodology of the London Metropolitan Police Service, regarded as a pioneer of intelligence-led policing. This activity aimed at further promoting regional co-operation and at enhancing the capacities of local stakeholders to counter crime. From 15-17 December, the Mission organized a three-day seminar on implementation of the European legislation related to tackling vehicle crime with cross-border implications. Participants comprised 21 police investigators, three customs officers, one prosecutor from the Prosecutor’s Office for Organised Crime and seven prosecutors from the Higher Prosecutor’s Office. The seminar focused on the co-operation between prosecutors and police. Two experts from Italy, one police investigator and one prosecutor addressed the participants, exploring the connection and interaction among different organized crime groups. This activity contributed to strengthen the police’s capacity to combat transnational, organized and other forms of serious crime. Illicit Drugs and Precursors From 8-10 October, the Mission supported three representatives of the Serbian MoI and the Public Prosecution to attend the OSCE regional event “Co-operation Between Law Enforcement and Forensic Officers on Illicit Drug Investigations in the Balkan Region”. The round table took place in Ohrid, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The Strategic Police Matters Unit of the OSCE Secretariat and the OSCE Mission to Skopje organized this event. The relevant experts from police services of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as well as from Kosovo, discussed the current situation regarding drugs and precursors. Also, they discussed lessons learned on the connection between forensics and investigations, as well as new methods of drug determination/profiling and scientific and technical advice. From 27-28 October, the Mission supported the participation of two representatives of the MoI at the conference “Promoting Partnership with Non-Law Enforcement Actors in Combating the Threat of Illicit Drugs and the Diversion of Chemical Precursors”. The event took place at the OSCE in Vienna. It provided an opportunity for the participants to exchange their experiences regarding co-operation with the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as the need to co-operate with other actors, such as transportation companies. The conference also provided advice on trends regarding new psychoactive substances. Cybercrime/Cyber Security/Child Sexual Exploitation From 26-29 May, the Mission organized a three-day exchange of experiences for four Serbian police representatives, including the Head of Organised Crime Service and Head of Cybercrime Department, to the specialized unit of the Italian Postal and Communications Police.

The unit is a member of the Child Pornography Group and of the Virtual Global Task Force (VGT) network and participates in the works of the European Working Group on Information Technology Crime at INTERPOL, the High Tech Crime Committee at Europol and the Police Cooperation Working Group (PCWG) of the European Commission.
