At the seminar held yesterday at the Palace of Serbia, Dacic stressed the importance of international cooperation, noting that there is a higher level of confidence in the police and their work in public.
It is necessary that police establish better contacts with citizens, which includes their better media presentation, he underlined.
Deputy Chief Constable of Scotland Police Steve Allen, who is attending the seminar organised by the Office for Cooperation with the Media of the Ministry of the Interior and the OSCE Mission, highlighted that there are a large number of common activities and problems specific to police all over the world, and emphasised the great importance of mutual exchange of experience.
Head of the Ministry’s Office for Cooperation with the Media Suzana Vasiljevic confirmed that research on public opinion about police reform funded by the OSCE Mission is being conducted by Strategic Marketing.
This is the third study that is supported by the OSCE, outlined Vasiljevic and noted that in cooperation with the Mission a series of training programmes for heads and spokespersons in 27 police administrations in Serbia was held.
This is one of the most important aspects in the process of improving communication with the media, police officers and citizens, she concluded.
