On 3-5 October, the Mission, in co-operation with the Swedish Police and Prosecutor’s Office, organized a three-day training course on “Economic Crimes” for Montenegrin law enforcement authorities. The project goal was to provide assistance to the Crime Police, and the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Combating Organized Crime, Corruption, War Crimes and Terrorism, and the Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism of Montenegro, in order to increase their capacities in combating all forms of economic crime, new trends of frauds in economic crime, and to improve co-operation between these three institutions in these matters at both national and international levels. Eleven police officers, two prosecutors and two employees of the Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering attended the training course. On 26-29 November, the Mission, in co-operation with the Montenegrin PD, organized a fourday workshop for ten experienced informant handlers from the Police HQ and branch offices on enhancing the capacity of Montenegrin Police to implement informant handling techniques and to improve the handling of informants in order to strengthen the ability of the police service to combat organized crime through the proper collection and management of criminal intelligence. The second objective of the workshop was to develop informant handling training curricula, which would be delivered to the crime inspectors in the frame of an inservice training programme. Participants were acquainted with best international and EU practices in these topics. Forensics Since 2003, the Mission has been putting effort into institutional and capacity building of the Forensic Sciences in Montenegro. In this context, and with the aim of further strengthening the forensic capacities, the Mission facilitated the participation of two members of the Forensic Centre in Montenegro at the “2nd Meeting” of the “European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) Standing Committee ‘Education & Training’” in Bratislava, Slovakia, on 25-26 April. The meeting focused on education and training; the establishment of a common database for all ENFSI member states; accreditation and quality control; and expert working groups’ reports. On 25-27 April, the Mission also supported the participation of representatives from the Montenegrin PD, the Group for Fingerprints, and the Forensic Centre in Danilovgrad to attend the “7th International Symposium on Fingerprints Material Storage” in Lyon, France. The main topic of the symposium was fingerprint material and the full harmonization of the exchange of fingerprint material, emphasizing the importance of international exchange of biometric information. Trafficking in Human Beings On 24-27 April, the Mission, in co-operation with the Turkish National Police, organized a three-day study visit for representatives of the Criminal and Border Police and the National Co-ordinator's Office for the Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings. The aim of the visit was to enable Montenegrin officials to establish direct contact with their Turkish counterparts in order to develop better co-operation with Turkish law enforcement agencies. This was deemed necessary as Montenegro is being used as a transit country for many illegal migrants on their way to Europe, with the vast majority of them coming from Turkey. During the visit, the Montenegrin delegation was familiarized with the work of various Turkish institutions that are in charge of combating trafficking in human beings and illegal migration. It was planned to establish a direct communication channel between the two police services in order to respond to cases of THB in a timely manner.
