Belgrade,
24 November 2008
Assistant Head of the Belgrade Police Administration Nikola Popovac today presented the project “Capacity Building of Public Peace and Order Department for Tackling Human Trafficking”, whose aim is to create conditions for a more efficient fight against this form of organised crime.
Popovac stressed that over 40 police officers underwent special training for the identification of victims of human trading.
British Ambassador to Serbia Stephen Wordsworth said that geographically Serbia is a transit country and added that, by helping Serbia, the UK is helping other countries in the region and Europe in the fight against this form of crime.
He said that human trafficking for a long time was unheard of in many European countries, adding that the Serbian police and judiciary are both successfully fighting against this problem.
Head of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Gregoire Goodstein said that the training was held for criminologists, lawyers and psychologists and will prove to be very valuable in the fight against trafficking.
Goodstein said that the British embassy provided £28,000 for equipping the Public Peace and Order Department for Tackling Human Trafficking.
The project was implemented by the IOM mission to Serbia and Serbia’s Interior Ministry, with the support of the British embassy in Belgrade.
The project included education for members of the Public Peace and Order Department to enable them to detect, identify and help victims of human trafficking with full respect for their human rights, drafting additional teaching material, the reconstruction of the department premises and securing necessary equipment.
