The administration of criminalistic police informed the NPM that it considered the needs for these premises at the level of all police departments s and executed the list of 33 premises which were the priority for adaptation in case financial funds were provided for that in the budget for 2020. Except at the seat of PD Jagodina, PS Velika Plana, PS Ćuprija and SPI Požarevac, in visited police departments and stations, there are no premises designed for keeping confiscated objects related to the criminal offence, which is why the NPM issued recommendations for formation of these premises.

During the reporting period the NPM conducted conversations with many persons deprived of liberty, both with persons in custody and detained persons on acting of police officers towards them during detention, as well as during the application of other police authorizations. Some persons deprived of liberty with whom the conversation was held stated that police officers yelled them, punched them in the stomach or dragged them on the ground during the arrest. In the doctor reports and other documentation there was no evidence which could confirm their allegations on illegal use of force. Furthermore, some persons deprived of liberty stated also that they were asked questions without their defendant and that police officers were present during medical examinations. The NPM in individual police cases found medical documentation of citizens (PD Jagodina, PS Ćuprija, PD Zaječar), even though in years before that it was indicated in reports that such acting is contrary to standards and valid regulations.
