The meeting was held to discuss the continuation of the successful cooperation between the National Assembly and the Democratisation Department of the OSCE Mission to Serbia on strengthening the National Assembly’s control and oversight function over the defence and security sector.
Jadranka Joksimovic thanked the representatives of the OSCE Mission to Serbia, for their support in the empowerment and development of the control and oversight capacities of the Security Services Control Committee, endorsing the initiative of the OSCE Mission’s Democratisation Department to launch a specialized course on supervision of the defence and security sector for the MPs and National Assembly Support Service staff to be realised at the Military Academy in cooperation with the National Defence School.
The representatives of the OSCE Mission and National Defence School informed the officials about the upcoming activities planned for the realisation of this project. A feasibility study and a preliminary course programme are supposed to be drafted by the end of November, tailor-made to suit the needs of the MPs the course is primarily intended for.
