Overview of recommendations given to the Ministry of Interior Recommendations To introduce special rooms for conducting conversations with persons deprived of liberty; To provide more vehicles, and especially a vehicle for the transport of detained persons (vans). Response to a recommendation Regarding this recommendation, PSGC so far has no physical opportunities to introduce such a room, but as before, the practice is to talk to persons deprived of liberty in the office of the shift manager or VBR or EOCA, depending on the issue of the event, which is regularly effectively recorded in the person detention record. (Response by the Commander of the PSGC Kratovo.) Regarding this recommendation, the explanation relating to the second recommendation on the budget is valid, but it should be clarified that although in PSGC another new PMV was put at disposal, due to the obsolescence of the vehicles and their technical functions, the situation has deteriorated (currently two vehicles are being repaired and 3 vehicles are effectively used). I would like to point out that it is a practice that if there is a need for transport of persons with such a vehicle, it is provided by the SIA Kumanovo or other organizational units of the Ministry of Interior.
