Strategic Planning and Development In May, the Mission facilitated the release of a public perception survey conducted by the independent sociological agency CEDEM. CEDEM provided relevant statistics and information about the perception of the citizens and the society with regard to the police’s performance of their duties; internal and external factors influencing it and the role of the society in improving co-operation with the police and the security in the country. The results of the survey provided background facts for the preparation of the PD strategy 2011-2013 and the OSCE Police Reform Report 2005-2011. Co-ordination of Police-related Activities amongst International Organizations On 19 December, the Mission facilitated the Police Directorate’s “Annual Co-ordination Meeting” on policing issues that focused on the ongoing process of police reform in Montenegro. More than 30 representatives from the Police Directorate, the Police Academy, the OSCE, International Organizations, and Embassies participated at the meeting. The meeting allowed participants to exchange information about the projects completed in 2011 and their plans for 2012. In the future the Police Directorate was going to be entirely in charge of organizing the “Annual Co-ordination Meeting” and was going to have a leading role in the co-ordination process. The OSCE Mission supported the establishment of a data base, which allows the Police Directorate to co-ordinate international assistance and to transfer the assistance to the local authorities. Police Education and Development On 16-18 March, the Mission organized a two-day regional conference of ministers of justice and ministers of internal affairs from twelve member states of the South East European Cooperation Process (SEECP), chaired by Montenegro in 2011, in the Montenegrin town of Becici. The goal of the event, organized in co-operation with Montenegro’s Justice and Interior Ministries, was to strengthen regional co-operation and co-ordination in the area of justice and police. In addition to the justice and interior ministers, representatives of international organizations and institutions dealing with judicial co-operation and organized crime matters, such as the EU, Eurojust, Europol, INTERPOL, MARRI, SECI and UNODC attended the conference. The main outcomes of the conference were common declarations of SEECP Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs regarding the endorsement of the Regional Strategic Document 2011-2013 and the Action Plan for its implementation, and the Budva Declaration on Strengthening Regional Co-operation and Co-ordination in the Fight against Organized Crime in the Countries of South-East Europe. 51
