PUBLICATION: Analysis
Collection of Policy Papers on Police Reform in Serbia, Number 9
Psychological support for police officers, fight against organised crime, and human rights and police are topics analyzed by authors in ninth edition of the Collection. This publication is published by Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP), Belgrade Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) and Centre for Development Policy and Co-operation (CDPC), with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
BCSP researchers Aurelija Đan and Saša Đorđević stress in their paper that insufficient attention has been paid to the mental health of the police officers in Serbia. This topic is usually discussed after the incidents in which police officers commit suicide or a crime, which brings into focus all issues related to the lack of psychological support for police officers. There is even less discussion about the role of police managers in stress management and prevention. Police managers rarely notice psychological changes in their employees, while the police officers who have problems do not wish to seek psychological support and professional help. Moreover, some managers are not familiar with the existing system of psychological support in the Ministry of Interior. Consequently, the effectiveness of the whole system of psychological support for police officers is questionable. The aim of this paper is to encourage discussion on the importance of improving the provision of professional psychological assistance to the police officers in Serbia and on the role of managers in supporting police personnel in their work.
Jan Litavski analyses the normative legal framework for combating organised crime and the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code related to organised crime in the Republic of Serbia. The paper aims to analyse the work of public authorities in the Republic of Serbia, responsible for combating organised crime, and their regional and international cooperation, and to provide guidelines for further actions.
The paper of Nevena Dičić Kostić seeks to stress the importance of education and training in the field of human rights and to highlight that familiarity with human rights issues facilitates a proper transfer and application of skills, knowledge and attitudes in everyday activities. This paper also highlights the importance of police training and describes the position of human rights in the system of police education in the Republic of Serbia.

There are many findings of domestic and foreign research organisations that unequivocally indicate that Serbia is a captured state, with a hybrid political regime. Security institutions play a major role in the capture of the state and the collapse of democracy in Serbia, as well as in preserving the situation the way it is.
