Albanian Anti-Trafficking legislation with the Council of Europe Convention on Action against
Trafficking in Human Beings from 2005.

with a specific focus on the rights of trafficked victims.

The OSCE Mission in Kosovo
Background
The OSCE Mission in Kosovo (OMIK), the largest OSCE field operation, forms a distinct
component of the United Nations Interim Administration. It is mandated with institution and
democracy-building and promoting human rights and the rule of law. In 1999, the OSCE was
mandated with training the new police service that was to uphold human rights and
democratic policing principles. To do so, The Mission’s Department of Police Education and
Development (DPED) created an institution – the Kosovo Police Service School – that in
2006, evolved into the Kosovo Centre for Public Safety Education and Development
(KCPSED). In order to better reflect the broader context of its programmes with justice,
safety and security sector development, the DPED itself became the Department for Security
and Public Safety (DSPS) in 2006 and remained as such throughout 2007. In 2008, the
Department was renamed the Department for Public Safety.
In 2009, the Department was again renamed into Department of Security and Public Safety
(DSPS) in order to better reflect the scope of activities that it performed.
