What is it about?

The twinning project `` EU for the support in strengthening the capacities in the fight against human trafficking`` is entering its second year of successful implementation. During that time the capacities of the Criminal Police Directorate have been improved. We are on this road together with the judiciary, the Ministry of Labor, Employment, Veterans' and Social Affairs and the Center for the protection of the victims of human trafficking.

Tens of trainings and workshops have been executed. The most important ones are: a study visit to the Ministry of Interior of Slovenia and the Federal Crime Police Directorate of Austria.

Until now, there have been more than 300 active professionals engaged in the field of the fight against human trafficking. They were the intermediaries in the advancement of the cooperation of their colleagues from Serbia and the colleagues from the state members of the European Union through mutual acknowledgement.
