Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, as well as Kosovo6, to introduce the translations of TNTD/SPMU’s guidebook Police Reform within the Framework of Criminal Justice System Reform into the official languages of those participating States and the official languages in Kosovo. TNTD/SPMU presented on the need to complement police reform with the reform of other sectors of the criminal justice system in order to enhance effectiveness and efficiency. Participants focused on good practices in enhancing co-operation between police and prosecution services in the context of newly introduced prosecution-led investigation procedures in the countries of South-Eastern Europe. On 10 December 2014, TNTD/SPMU participated in the conference titled “Ensuring the protection of the rights and interests of the people as the main aspect of legislative and law enforcement practices” in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The conference was co-organized by the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan and the Uzbek Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was co-chaired by the OSCE Project Co-ordinator and the national Ombudsman of Uzbekistan. Around 70 representatives from the police, prosecution authorities, NGOs and the media, as well as members of the Uzbek Parliament, representatives from embassies and civil society attended the conference. TNTD/SPMU delivered a presentation “Experience in the field of human rights in the OSCE, police and human rights: from principles to daily realities”, that prompted a lively discussion among participants. On the margins of the conference, TNTD/SPMU had a meeting with representatives of the Uzbek National Centre for Drugs Control and another one at the Uzbek Ministry of Internal Affairs with the Head of the Department of Legal Support and Protection of Human Rights, the Head of the Human Rights Chair and a representative of the International Relations Department. The interlocutors underlined the need to further co-operate with the OSCE in combatting illicit drugs and in addressing cybercrime. The two meetings were also excellent occasions for TNTD/SPMU to show support to the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan with regard to its police-related activities.
