Event\u00a0will take place\u00a0at the premises of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (Gunduli\u0107ev venac 48, Belgrade).<\/p>\n<p>\tSecurity sector in Serbia is traditionally dominated by men. In recent years, this trend is changing\u00a0partly due to the quota system. Any quota is determined by the minimum number of women who should be represented in the institutions of the security sector. In Serbia, quotas are set for admission of women to education and\u00a0training in the police and the arned forces, except for the training of female professional soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>\tThe percentage of women admitted to Military Academy of Serbia\u00a0is adjusted to the needs of the General Staff of Serbia and ranges from 17.3% to 21.66%, while the quota for the admission of women to the Criminal Police Academy and Centre for Basic Police Training in Sremska Kamenica stays fixed at 25%. With the existence of quotas, women were handed the opportunity of employment in these institutions much more than they were before, prior to 2000.<\/p>\n<p>\tOn the other hand, the application of of this method is not without drawbacks. Quotas impose the maximum number of positions that women can occupy, thus in fact\u00a0limiting their chances for enrollment and employment.<\/p>\n<p>\tFor more information, contact\u00a0BCSP&#39;s Maja Bjelo\u0161 at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:majabjelos@ccmr-bg.org\">majabjelos@ccmr-bg.org<\/a>.
