On 16-17 October, the Mission facilitated the visit of the Training Division from the OSCE Mission to Skopje to the Serbian MoI with the aim to support regional co-operation and to assist the OSCE Mission to Skopje’s intention to introduce a project on e-learning in the police training system in the police service of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in 2014 and 2015. Members of the Training Division from the Mission to Skopje were hosted by the BPTC and the Mission to Serbia. Participants met relevant representatives in charge of the e-learning project and exchanged experiences and ideas. On 25-26 October, the Mission supported the participation of two representatives of the Directorate for Police Education at the “3rd Western Balkan Moodle Moot Conference” in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was organized by the Croatian Society for Open Systems and Internet and the Moodle community of Serbia. The focus of the conference was on distance learning and education. From 18-20 November, the Mission organized the first cycle of a workshop on e-learning as part of in-service training in Sremska Kamenica. The event was organized as part of the Mission’s efforts to support the MoI in developing a training system for police officers, and supporting the introduction of e-learning as an efficient and cost-effective training solution. The purpose of the workshop was to explore possibilities of converting training material from a traditional to an e-learning format in the context of in-service training and to develop one inservice training course in the e-learning format. Participants came from Sombor, Kraljevo and Nis Police Districts, as well as from the Police Brigade, the Police Station Palilula from Belgrade, the BPTC and the Uniformed Police Directorate. A follow-up workshop was planned for December 2013 where the focus would be on converting several existing inservice training courses into e-learning format. Between 20 and 25 June, the Mission organized a series of staff development seminars to develop leadership skills for police supervisors. The first seminar on “The art of making meetings effective – how to make meetings your ally”, focusing on effective meeting and briefing skills, was held in Belgrade for 20 police supervisors from across the MoI. The complexity of tasks that the Ministry performs in Serbia’s ongoing reform process and in view of European accession negotiations requires its personnel to be able to communicate effectively and productively in meetings and similar events. The seminar focused on communicating prior, during and after meetings, how to set and use the time in the most effective way, how to design the items of the agenda, ability to deal with atypical participants at meeting, overcome conflicting situation aimed at making meetings more productive and efficient. The second seminar of this type was held on 25 June, targeting 20 police supervisors from across the MoI. On 26-27 November, the Mission organized two one-day staff development seminars for police supervisors on “How to recognize and cope with stress”. The group of 40 police supervisors from the MoI’s Uniformed, Criminal Investigation, Traffic, Border and Police Education Directorates attended the seminar in Belgrade. The seminars’ purpose was to familiarize participants with methods for stress management and provide them with practical and easy-to-use techniques. The overall goal of these seminars was to support the Ministry staff in enhancing leadership and management skills, and developing a management training system in the police service. On 31 July and 1 August, the Mission organized two workshops on “Training Cycle Management” for representatives of 27 Police Districts in Serbia, as well as the Ministry’s Education Directorate. The workshops were a continuation of similar events that took place in 2012. The main goal of these activities was to support the MoI in setting up an effective management of the police training system. Specifically, these two workshops focused on the planning phase of the training cycle. Tools and instruments for conducting the training needs analysis (TNA) were presented to the participants. 84
