Improving international police cooperation for more efficient fight against crime

Belgrade/London, 15 October 2025

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dačić stated today, after the end of the Berlin Process Meeting of Interior Ministers held in London, that the aim of the meeting was to improve international operational cooperation in the fight against all forms of crime.

Dačić stated that the aforementioned meeting was chaired by British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, adding that this is a continuation of a process that began in 2014, with additional topics being added to the agenda each year.

This year there were three sessions. The first session concerned migration and all the problems arising from it. The second topic was the fight against exploitation and violence against girls and women, and the third topic was the fight against organised crime, he explained.

The Deputy Prime Minister pointed out that, in addition to the Western Balkan countries, the summit was attended by European Union members such as Germany, France, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia, emphasising that better international police cooperation, especially operational cooperation and exchange of information, is key to the successful fight against crime.

Dačić said that at this gathering he insisted that there could be no operational cooperation and exchange of operational data with representatives of the so-called Kosovo police, because Serbia does not recognise the unilaterally declared independence of the so-called Kosovo.

According to him, cooperation with the so-called Kosovo police is only possible in accordance with previously signed agreements, through EULEX and Interpol.

He also emphasised that he pointed to the difficult position of the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija and the 702 ethnically motivated incidents that occurred during Kurti's rule, noting that this is terror against Serbs carried out precisely by members of the so-called Kosovo police.
