During the conference following issues will be discussed:
- Why is the police reform important from the perspective of the EU accession process?
- What are the main challenges for the police reform in the region?
- What needs to be done so that citizens have access to accountable police and improved safety?
- What are the ways for internal control of police to strengthen police integrity?
- Can the community policing concept contribute to speeding up the police reform in the region?
