From 21-24 May, the Mission supported participation of two Montenegrin senior officials to attend the European Network of Forensic Science annual meeting in Slovakia. The support was in the framework of assistance to the Ministry of Interior to build capacity of the Forensics Centre in training forensic experts to provide standardized evidence to the criminal justice system. On 25 June, the Mission organized a further information exchange and co-ordination meeting of experts from international organizations in Montenegro and from state institutions working in the area of law enforcement. Participants included representatives from the Ministry of Interior, International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Programme (ICITAP), INTERPOL and the US, Italian and UK Embassies. The aim of the information meeting is for international organizations to exchange information on effective capacity building of Montenegro’s law enforcement institutions, to avoid duplication and to ensure funding is used efficiently. On 30 June and 1 July, the Mission, in co-operation with the US Embassy, the Judicial Training Centre, and the Human Resources Management Authority, organized a seminar for 20 judges, prosecutors, police and other state officials as part of the third pillar of a the Government’s Anti-Corruption Training Programme. The seminar, which focused on investigating corruption offences, enabled participants to gain knowledge from experts in conducting financial investigations and in the confiscation of illegally acquired assets of persons suspected of corruption and organized crime. The experts, who included police officers from the United States, United Kingdom and Finland, also provided best practices on “following the money trail” as a means of uncovering potential criminal offenses and methods of communication and co-ordination among all relevant actors in this sector. On 2 September, the Mission donated six notebook computers with licensed analytical software and one printer/scanner to the Ministry of Interior, as part of a regional project to combat organized crime, conducted by the Ministries of Interior of Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The aim of this project is to improve police abilities in conducting criminal analysis. The project also focuses on promoting regional strategic police co-ordination and building knowledge in tackling organized crime more effectively. Intelligence police analysts from each of the three countries will receive specialized technical equipment and training to develop standardized assessment reports. These will provide emerging and changing trends in transnational organized crime in line with the Serious Organized Crime Threat Assessment Standards, established in the three countries. The Mission is facilitating participation of Montenegro’s Ministry of Interior in the regional project, which is being implemented with funding provided by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. During the reporting period, the Police Forensic Centre, with the support of the Mission, organized a regional workshop on “Preparation of Forensic Laboratories for Accreditation” in accordance with ISO17025 standards. Forensic experts from Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia participated in the workshop, representing further regional cooperation between the forensic centres of countries whose forensic laboratories have yet to acquire accreditation to the international ISO standards. On 24 October, the Mission, in co-operation with the OSCE TNTD Strategic Police Matters Unit (SPMU), held a five-day advanced training course on “Advanced Forensics using Linux" and "Introduction to the Use of Social Media in Crime Investigations”. The training course was attended by 20 investigators from the police services of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Montenegro, who deal with highly complex computer crimes. The training took place at the Montenegrin Police Academy in Danilovgrad. 87
