The second executive council meeting was specifically focused on the achievements in implementation of the second phase of the joint OSCE-Royal Norwegian Embassy project aimed at addressing the community safety concerns. The Committee members delivered presentations on their initiatives implemented for the purpose of sharing best practices, alongside other participants who presented their work to promote community safety. The six newly established Committees were introduced to the executive council, where they presented respective project proposals to be submitted for implementation through the third phase of the above-mentioned project in 2015. For the first time, the members of the newly established Committee from a northern municipality participated in an executive council and presented their proposal for improving safety, security and quality of life in their respective community through police-public partnerships. Both executive council meetings were attended by the representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kosovo Police, respective municipalities, Royal Norwegian Embassy, international organizations, various NGOs and local media. To support the implementation of the Community Policing Strategy and ensure sustainability, continuity and further development of its activities related to community safety and security, the Mission continued to facilitate the establishment of Local Public Safety Committees in ethnically mixed and non-Albanian areas, including a northern municipality. In total, three deliveries of community policing training were conducted in May, October and December for the members of ten new Committees, which consisted of modules on partnership building and problem-solving. Both training modules of three deliveries were provided by the Mission’s twelve community safety trainers in co-operation with the Mission’s staff. Each of the three-day modules mainly focused on equipping the participants with knowledge and skills on topics covering the philosophy of community safety and community policing, partnership building, facilitation skills, analysing problems related to safety, security and quality of life, as well as the principles of project management. The participants were additionally guided in developing project proposals based on the prioritized concerns of the respective communities, which will subsequently be implemented through the joint OSCERoyal Norwegian Embassy project to support community safety initiatives through safety committees in 2015. In total, 88 members of ten newly established Committees were trained, bringing the total number of Committees to 43.15 A high level of Kosovo Serb and Kosovo Roma communities’ representation in the new Committees clearly demonstrated the increase in trust toward the police and the willingness of non-majority communities to be involved in community safety initiatives throughout Kosovo. In addition, as a part of the capacity building programme, all trained Committees organized community meetings in order to enhance the visibility of the new Committees and establish communication links with the respective municipalities and other actors working in the area of community safety. A total of 20 community meetings were held, two per each new Committee, with the assistance of the Mission in 2014. On 17-21 November, the Mission conducted a five-day training course for 15 members of the recently trained Local Public Safety Committees selected as community safety trainers. The purpose of this training was to equip the members of eight new Committees with specific training techniques in order to expand their partnership and problem-solving skills, as well as to support the promotion of community policing philosophy in different regions throughout Kosovo. The trainers will be added to the trainers’ database and will become an integral part of the future capacity building training programme for community safety forums led by the Community Safety Coordination Office. In order to enrich the capacity building programme for community safety forums through the Community Safety Coordination Office, as well as to recap the achievements of this Office in 15 As a result of structural changes within the Kosovo Police Station of Kamenicë/Kamenica, six Committees were merged into one.
