The topic of the meeting is "International Cooperation in the Fight against Organised Crime in the BSEC Region".

In her presentation, Marija Jevdjic emphasised that, in recent years, the Republic of Serbia has made significant steps toward building a legal and institutional framework for the fight against organised crime. The capacities of the prosecution and police have been strengthened, interdepartmental coordination has been improved, and what is particularly important - cooperation with partner countries and international organisations such as the UN, Europol, Interpol, the Council of Europe and the European Union has been intensified. She particularly stressed that the Republic of Serbia is actively participating in the implementation of international conventions and standards, including the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. She also emphasised the role of digital transformation and new technologies in detecting and combating organised crime. In this regard, the Republic of Serbia is ready to be part of the global technological coalition aimed at improving security tools, as well as protecting human rights and democratic values.
