Executive Summary Activities of Field Operations In South-Eastern Europe, 71 per cent of all police-related activities focused on general police development and reform, the main areas being human rights, police accountability and community policing. The most significant proportion of activities related to threats posed by criminal activity focused on counter-terrorism and P/C VERLT. The OSCE Presence in Albania, the OSCE Mission to Montenegro and the OSCE Mission to Skopje mostly addressed threats posed by criminal activity, whereas around three quarters of all activities delivered by the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the OSCE Mission to Serbia concentrated on police development and reform. In Eastern Europe, the OSCE Mission to Moldova concentrated slightly over 86 per cent of its police-related activities on police development and reform, under the topics of gender-based and domestic violence and of hate crime. The remaining activities of its work to address threats posed by criminal activities focused on human trafficking. The OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine reported 63 per cent of its police-related activities in police development and reform, with gender-based and domestic violence being the most prevalent activities. In Central Asia, 53 per cent of the field operations’ activities were dedicated to threats posed by criminal activity, while the remaining 47 per cent focused on police development and reform. Although both percentages are similar, the number of events organized in the region by the field operations varied considerably. While the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat, the OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan (then Astana) and the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan mainly focused on initiatives related to threats posed by criminal activity, the OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe and the OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek devoted most of their activities to general police reform and development. Activities of OSCE Institutions ODIHR was the only OSCE institution involved in policerelated activities in 2018. The Office continued to promote the inclusion of human rights into the teaching and training curricula of police institutions. As in previous years, particular emphasis was placed on addressing hate crimes within the Office’s comprehensive Training against Hate Crimes for Law Enforcement (TAHCLE) programme. 11
