Although close to 15% of the Budget of the Republic of Serbia is spent on security, this is not enough because there is no systematic investment, it was pointed out during the meeting between Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) and the Members of Parliament held on November 23, 2016 in Belgrade.

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.

BCSP activities in 2013 were highlighted by contributions to the systematic fight against corruption within police, military and security services, advancement of gender equality in security sector, opening of the dialogue on future of Serbian-Albanian relations and beginning of the independent monitoring of Serbia’s progress in chapters 23 and 24 of the EU negotiating process.
