Reports on progress of Serbia in the area of justice, freedom and security will be semiannually presented to citizens. These documents will be available at Ministry of Interior website, and consultations with civil society organizations interested in this process will be organized on this occasion.

Civil society organizations request from the Ministry of Interior to publish the Draft Action Plan for Chapter 24 (Justice, Freedom, and Security) and enable interested stakeholders to participate in its preparation.

BCSP Director Sonja Stojanovic Gajic took part in a visit to France program, organized by the French Ministry of Defense from October 6th to 10th 2014.

More than 100 representatives from Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Security-Intelligence Agency, independent government institutions, many embassies and international organizations in Serbia, as well as students, civil society organizations and media have gathered at conference on integrity in the security sector organized by BCSP.

The subject of this publication is the integrity of the three most significant security sector institutions in Serbia: the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces of Serbia; the Ministry of the Interior and the police; and the Security Information Agency.

Strengthening the integrity in the security sector was the subject of expert consultations which gathered 28 representatives of the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Security-Information Agency, the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, the Ombudsman, the Commissioner for Information of Public importance and Personal Data Protection, Agency for fighting against corruption, the Public Procurement Office and the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, from 9 to 11 July at Fruska Gora.

For an efficient fight against corruption in the police, a systematic approach is necessary, as well as enforcement of preventive and repressive measures and inclusion of the Police Unions and civil society organizations, which can, to great assistance, contribute to the fight against corruption. This was concluded during the three day seminar at Mokra gora which gathered representatives of Ministry of the Interior, police unions, and civil society organizations.

Exchange of information and creation of optimal conditions for realistic reporting regarding the level of presence of corruption risks in the Ministry of Defence of Republic of Serbia were the main objectives of the meeting held on April 24 in 2014 at the Ministry of Defence.
