Efficient fight against corruption in the police requires an improvement in human resource management, strengthening the sector of internal control, police depolitization, but also encouragement for both citizens and police officers to report cases of corruption, it was concluded at panel discussions held on April 28th and 30th, in Majdanpek, Zrenjanin, and Becej.

BCSP researchers Maja Bjelos and Bojan Elek in this paper analyse the implementation of the Agreement reached in Brussels in April 2013, focusing on the key part of the Agreement which explicitly stated that local Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) units would be disbanded and integrated into the Kosovo Police (KP).

Management of human resources, changing the Law on Police, the creation of a professional police service and strengthening the sector of internal control are the measures which should be undertaken in order to reduce the risk of corruption in the police, it was concluded during panel discussions held on 14 and 15 April in Brus, Prokuplje and Nis.

Rapid progress regarding integration of the former members of Serbian Ministry of Interior (MoI) in Northern Kosovo into Kosovo Police requires further investments by Belgrade and Pristina authorities and international community.

Gender analysis of key criminal justice statistics and the difference in quality of data records of the Ministry of Interior of Serbia were the topics of the second seminar „Gender analysis in strategic planning and reporting in the police".

During their work at the Kosovar Center for Security Studies, BCSP researchers Maja Bjelos and Bojan Elek have conducted more than 20 interviews, as a part of their field work on the integration of Serbian police officers from Northern Kosovo into the Kosovo police. Besides that, as guest researchers they also participated at several public events and media appearances.

EU integrations, police reform and cross-border cooperation were the topics that raised most questions during the discussion held at Belgrade Centre for Security Policy on 13 March 2014.

The number of psychologists in the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be increased, but also, the awareness of police managers should be raised, in order for them to better understand their role in giving support to their employees, that was concluded during the presentation of the ninth edition of Collection of Policy Papers on Police Reform in Serbia.
