It has been two years since the beginningof the project aimed at strengthening thecapacities of the Directorate for Coordi na -tion of Police Bodies of Bosnia and Herze -go vina. In front of you is the newsletter co -ve ring the highlights of that period. It pres-ents the contributions and opinions of allthe people involved - those from nearby andthose from distance as well as the EU per-spective all the way to the content of thetasks of the Directorate.

When we prepared the work plan tostrengthen the Directorate, this new organi -zation was barely recognizable and it wasvulnerable in its existence. Although basedon the mutual agreement of all the stake-holders in BiH, the establishment of thisnew state-level institution in exchange forvisa liberalisation was not embraced at all.

The starting point consisted of only alegal framework and a book of rules includ-ing personnel functions and tasks. Nopremises existed apart from a small corri-dor in the former UN house to host theDirectors and limited staff. Sectors for VIPProtection and International Cooperationwe re scattered over several locations. Du -ring my first visit to the premises of the Sec -tor for VIP and Facilities Protection, I wasastounded by the poor working conditions.

In close cooperation with the counter-parts from the Directorate, we rolled outmore than eighty activities that were envi-sioned in the work plan. With a “step bystep” approach, my team and I supported

the managerial decision to move all sectorsto the premises of the former UN buildingthus creating a stable situation and work-able environment for all of the employees.

With my police experts from the Nether -lands, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia andso metimes with the assistance of expertsfrom Europol, we managed to asses the ne -eds of this young institution and to stren g -then their capacities by putting in place tai-lor made training, seminars, workshopsand study visits.

We worked on the analysis training, wrotethe first Serious Organised Crime ThreatAssessment for Europol, improved the re -porting mechanism, and created the playfield for the operation centres to conductlarge-scale police operations and crisis ma -nagement. Further, we encouraged andhelped the Directorate to fulfil their obliga-tion to finalize the data exchange system,which now connects the registries of theprosecutorial and law enforcement institu-tions. In parallel, we tried to brand theDirectorate by being a host for several me -etings, workshops, and ceremonies and byupgrading their website.

None of our sucesses would have beenpossible without a genuine partnershipapproach and we were taking this very seri-ously. Therefore whenever possible weincluded the Directorate's partners from theentity, cantonal and state level. Only withtheir trust can the Directorate manage toplay the key role in coordination, communi-

cation, and cooperation in regards to these curity and safety.

This was definitely not only a successstory. A lot remains to be done, for example,the full access to data exchange system,signing of an agreement with Europol tohave a single point of contact with BiH anda reporting system on security relatedevents that all law enforcement agencies inthis country will benefit from.

This project was a true teamwork. As sis -tant Director and my counterpart, PredragLučić and I discussed directions and dilem-mas of the project on a daily basis. My as -sistant Arijana and the team of interpretershave always fulfilled their tasks in an excel-lent manner. The police experts from differ-ent countries in mixed compositions workedtogether as true Europeans on our activi-ties.

This project paved the way for furtherstrengthening of the Directorate. With thereports, assessments and recommendati -ons of the experts participating in the pro -ject activities, there is enough ammunitionto continue in the upcoming period. Withthe further support from the BiH stakehold-ers, Ministry of Security of BiH in particularand the EU assistance, I have no doubtsthat the Directorate will achieve its goalsand become fully functional in performingits tasks aimed at improving security andsafety of all citizens in the country andabroad. �

Presentation of the EU-funded twin -

ning project between the Nether -

land Police Agency (KLPD) and

the BiH Directorate for Coordinate of

Police Bodies (DPC) was held on 12

March 2012 in Sarajevo in the Head -

quarters of the DPC.

The aim of this 1.2 million euro worth

project funded by the European Union

from the Instrument for Pre-accession

Assistance (IPA) is to strengthen the Di -

rec torate and all police agencies in

Bosnia and Herzegovina with the assis-

tance of 50 foreign police experts from

several countries who will be involved

in implementing more than 80 activiti es.

Deputy Head of the EU Delegation,

Re nzo Daviddi, stated: "The twinningpro ject which starts today supports theDirectorate for Coordination of PoliceBodies and all law enforcement agen-cies in the country in order to improvecooperation at both national and inter-national level. The Netherlands, as keypartner of the project, but also Slove -nia, Romania and Poland, will provide

their expertise to make it happen." Mr.

Daviddi added: "The Directorate forCo ordination of Police Bodies is themain partner of international and EUsecurity institutions; it is also a key hubfor the successful fight against organi -sed and serious crime and the internalsecurity of the country."

Presentation was focused on the main

results which are expected. In addition,

DPCs role in international ope rational

police cooperation was presen ted as

well as its capacities to gather, share,

manage and analyse security re lated in -

formation and capabilities of the Sec tor

for Security of VIPs and Fa ci lities. �


Ceremony to mark launching of project aimed to support BiH Directorate for Coordination of Police Bodies

Launch of Twinning Project

The twinning project “Assistance to

the Directorate for Coordination

for Police Bodies of Bosnia and

Her zegovina” is coming to an end. The

Netherlands Police Agency (KLPD)

and the BiH Directorate for Coor di na -

tion of Police Bodies of BiH were part-

ners in this EU-funded project from

Fe bruary 2012 to February 2014.

The involvement of the KLPD in this

project testifies to the general commit-

ment of the Netherlands to assist in

strengthening the rule of law in BiH.

Establishing and deepening the rule of

law is an essential precondition for

eco nomic development, for a flourish-

ing society and for integration into the

European Union and other structures.

The overall objective of the twinning

project was to strengthen the capacities

of the Directorate and in doing so crea -

te an efficient and sustainable structure

for the cooperation between the law

en forcement agencies in BiH and at in -

ter national level.

Partners from across the European

Union supported the implementation of

the twinning project: Romania, Poland,

Slovenia as well as Europol Head quar -

ters in The Hague. They made their in -

di vidual and the EU expertise and ex -

perience in law enforcement available

to the colleagues in the Directorate, as

well as in other cantonal, entity and

sta te level law enforcement agencies.

As we know from experience in The

Netherlands, reforms in the law en for -

ce ment sector never cease. There is al -

ways room for improvement. For in -

stance, the sector in the Netherlands

has been undergoing a process of a for-

mal reform since 1 January 2012. The

objective is to bring 26 almost inde-

pendent police regions into one natio -

nal police structure with a single com-

mand, and to integrate police and pros-

ecutors into a single Ministry of Se cu -

ri ty and Justice. The reason for such a

single structure in the Netherlands is to

improve the efficiency and effective-

ness of the law enforcement and thus

im prove the cooperation not only inter-

nally, but Europe wide.

The Directorate for Coordination of

Po lice Bodies of BiH has an important

responsibility, both domestically and as

a focal point in international operati o -

nal police cooperation. It will only be

able to perform its tasks well with the

active cooperation of other law en for -

ce ment agencies in BiH.

I wish that the positive results achi -

eved in the twinning project will be

sus tained and built upon by the Di rec -

torate, other relevant agencies as well

as politicians, in the interest of the citi-

zens of BiH. �

Editorial


The time has come to bid farewell

to the colleagues from the Twin -

ning Project “Assistance to the

Di rectorate for Coordination of Police

Bodies of BiH” which ends in Fe bru -

a ry 2014.

It is the occasion to reflect on the

achievements and the challenges that

lie ahead in achieving the full functio -

nality of the Directorate, as the ma in

partner of international and EU law

en forcement institutions and agencies.

The European Union funded this

two year twinning project with 1.2

mil lion € from the Instrument for Pre-

ac cession Assistance.

Under the leadership of the De part -

ment for International Police Coope -

ration of the Netherlands, the project

has utilised a broad range of experi-

ence of other implementing partners

from across the European Union: the

Mi nistries of Interior of Poland, Ro -

ma nia, and Slovenia, as well as Euro -

pol.

The aim of project was to strength-

en the capacities of the Directorate,

and in doing so create an efficient and

sustainable structure for the coopera-

tion between law enforcement agen-

cies both at national and international

le vel.

To that end, the project focused on

three areas:

� Strengthening the Directorate'sro le as focal point for international

po lice cooperation, including with In -

ter pol and Europol;

� Establishing a situation centre forcrisis management and large scale

security events and the processing of

re levant security-related information

in the country on a 24/7 basis, includ-

ing development of a network for in -

formation and intelligence exchange

and the establishment of country-wide

threat assessments on organised cri -

me;

� Continuous enhancing of the VIPand building protection skills;

Since February 2012, around 50 in -

ter national police experts were invol -

ved in implementing around 70 activi -

ties.

Sound analysis, a result oriented ap -

proach and direct response to the

needs jointly identified with project

partners has proven to be an excellent

concept – a number of tailor made

trainings, workshops and seminars

hel ped introduce best EU practices

and a road map. In addition, the bene-

ficiary experienced first hand EU

prac tice through a series of study vi -

sits and internships in different EU

police agencies, including Europol.

In December, Europol announced

the launch of negotiations of an opera -

tional agreement with BiH. The Di -

rec torate for Coordination of Police

Bodies (DPC) capacity in complying

with the requirements of the road map

has been further strengthened under

the twinning project. Further assis-

tance should focus on assisting the

DPC in fulfilling the legal obligation

of establishing a single point of con-

tact for communication and coopera-

tion with Europol. The activities ai -

med at physically moving the SIE NA

system to the DPC building are under-

way and we hope to see a successful

completion of this task.

The electronic data exchange sys-

tem of police and prosecutors regis -

tries set up in July 2013 demonstrated

that the structural fragmentation can

be overcome in a spirit of cooperation

and coordination. Around 32 million

da ta were exchanged since then. Whi -

le DPC hosts this server, this institu-

tion is still not provided with a direct

access to the data. If the DPC is to ful-

fil all of its legal competencies to the

full extent, this should change.

The inauguration of the Situation

Ro om is taking place simultaneously

with the twinning project closing ce -

re mony on 22 January 2014. The situ-

ation room will be the seat for all

managers of the BiH law enforcement

agencies, to act as a decision-making

bo dy during large-scale security

events or events that threaten state

security. Through the Twinning pro -

jects, law enforcement managers had

an opportunity to see how this functi -

on is organised and operates in EU

Mem ber States.

The next step will be to equip the

Ope rational Centre. This will conclu -

de the establishment of structures ne -

eded to carry out one of the important

tasks of the Directorate – to collect

and analyse information of relevance

for the security of BiH. However, the

successful completion of this task re -

quires finalisation of the process of

signing the Memoranda of Under stan -

ding between the Directorate and law

enforcement agencies across BiH.

Two years following its establish-

ment, in January 2013, all of the Di -

rec torate's components have moved to

the building that the Directorate is

cur rently renting. Yet, a solution for

the permanent seat for the Directorate

remains to be found.

Worthwhile noting is that the strong

cooperation of police experts from the

four EU countries - always operating

in mixed teams - was a big asset, both

for the Directorate and for the in vol -

ved police experts themselves. This

pro ject offered also to new EU coun-

tries a learning opportunity in de aling

with twinning projects. �

Holger SchroederHead of Operations EU Delegation to BiH

Editorial


Having been asked whether the

twin ning project managed such

high expectations, Selimović res -

pon ded positively, noting that even

mo re could have been achieved had

the overall at mosphere in BiH been

mo re conducive.

“We are satisfied with the impact ofthe twinning project. Speaking on be -half of the Directorate, I can say thatwe remained consistently committedto the project objectives that we havepledged to and saw the same level ofcommitment of all the internationalexperts in volved in the implementati -on. Given the circumstances, we ac -complished what was possible,” said

Se limović.

The circumstances Selimović is re -

ferring to are pertaining to the fact

that the operational agreement be twe -

en BiH and Europol has not been sig -

ned, which led to the cancelation of

so me planned activities.

“Had the operational agreementbe en signed during the project imple-mentation, this would have allowedthe project to assist in building capa -ci ties of the Sector for Cooperationwith Europol in line with the beststan dards and practices of Europol,“

said Deputy Director Mile Jurić.

Consequently, the activities aimed at

developing capacities of the Di rec to -

rate for preparation of a national or -

ganised crime threat assessment in li -

ne with the Europol methodology are

be ing managed by another EU law en -

forcement oriented project (IPA 2010)

in coordination with the Ministry of

Se curity of BiH.

“In addition to strengthening theca pacities of Directorate in the fieldof police coordination, internationalpoli ce cooperation and protection of

the VIPs and facilities, the project as -sis ted us in increasing the profile ofthe Direc to rate within the law en -forcement in BiH, within their respec-tive countries, within the EuropeanUni on, which is of particular impor-tance having in mind the internationaldimension of the Di rec torate’s work,“noted Deputy Di rec tor Uroš Pena.

Troublesome beginning The Directorate has been entrusted

with the three main roles: to enhance

the mutual communication, coordi na -

ti on and cooperation of the law en -

forcement agencies in BiH, to act as a

fo cal point in the international ope ra -

tional po lice cooperation in line with

the law, and to provide protection to

the VIPs and facilities. While the first

task was an entirely new concept to

the law enforcement stakeholders in

BiH, the other two included taking

over competences and personnel from

other state level institutions – Minis -

try of Security and State In vestigation

and Protection Agency of BiH.

Following the appointments in

2010, Director Selimović with the two

de pu ties Pena and Jurić recognized

that im men se challenges and opportu-

nities both lie ahead. While its es tab -

lishment was one of the pre-con diti -

ons for the vi sa liberalisation re gi me

for the citizens of BiH, the competen-

cies this institution have been en -

Himzo Selimović, Director of Directorate for Coordination of Police Bodi -es of BiH, about the twinning project’s implications for the institution he isleading, in the EUPM Mission Magazine in February 2012, following theofficial launch of the project:

“Through our commitment to this project, we expect to look back in two-years time with satisfaction, and with the knowledge that all involved agen-cies have felt positive effects of these efforts. I am certain that this projectwill complement our current knowledge base and allow us to successfullyadapt to the relevant European and international best practices.”

However, Selimović also noted that a twinning project by its very naturerequires a significant commitment to be made by both partners and turnedhis attention to the Bosnian and Herzegovinian government.

“We sincerely expect that the capacity we build as a result of this endeav-our will be closely followed and adequately reacted to by local authorities,with whom the primary responsibility for ensuring the receipt of sufficientfinancial and material resources for the Directorate rests. Today, our equip-ment is inadequate and unfortunately, below minimally acceptable stan-dards. Furthermore, we are facing problems as a result of understaffing.Finally, the Bosnian and Herzegovinian authorities must address the issueof a permanent and adequate building where the Directorate may be hou -sed. The EU delegation has already earmarked significant funds for trans-fer of knowledge – which will no doubt be incredibly useful – but a numberof significant responsibilities rest with our government.”

Directorate: A New Quality

Himzo Selimović


trusted have been ex cep tionally im -

por tant for the overall se curity struc-

ture in BiH.

“The initial months were extremelydifficult. As the appointments werema de in March 2010, there was nobudget earmarked for our function-ing. Yet, with the handful of the closestassociates we were to start fromscratch in developing the strategy, theaction plan, and the bo ok of rules,”recalled Pena.

“We have launched the operation ofestablishment of a new state level in -stitution in a couple of offices, whichwere ceded to us by the kindness of theformer EU Police Mission. On top ofit, our component parts, i.e. the sec -tors for international police co ope ra -tion and VIP and facilities protection,were scattered on several lo cations inpoor working conditions,” added

Jurić.

Although the Directorate remained

in the former EU Police Mission

building, the issue of a permanent lo -

cation has not yet been solved. The

Di rectorate is currently renting 3500

m2 and 200 par king lots.

“This has allowed for a move ofboth sectors in early 2013, which ai -ded in increased efficiency in work,functiona lity, as well as cost effec ti -veness. More im portantly, this re pre -sen ted complian ce with the security

requirements stemming from the In -ter pol and Europol stan dards,“ ex pla -

ined Pena.

Units of Directorate in Banja Luka,

Mostar and Tuzla are collocated with

the colleagues from SIPA, which does

not involve additional financial impli-

cations for the budget of the Di rec to -

rate.

“We are hoping to see the issue ofper manent seat resolved soon as it isin the best interest of this institutionand the taxpayers of BiH,“ said Se -

limović.

Turning pointSince the establishment, the Dire c -

to ra te has been intensively working

on achieving the strategic objectives,

primarily development and strengthe -

ning of communication, coordination,

and co operation of the BiH law en -

forcement agencies. Now it is the ri -

in Police Structure of BiH

Uroš Pena, Himzo Selimović and Mile Jurić

Europol The Directorate is expecting signing of the ope -rational agreement between BiH and Europol,as the cooperation with Europol legally restswith the Directorate. “Having in mind the an no -uncement from the Ministry of Secu rity thatne gotiations for signing the operational agree-ment with Europol will start soon, close coope -ration with the Ministry in complying with all ofthe roadmap requirements needed to makethat happen remains on top of our priorities inthe upcoming period,“ said Jurić.


ght time to pose a question on whether

the Bosnian and Herzegovinian au tho -

rities managed the expectations that

Selimović raised two years ago.

“There is always room for improve-ment. We have been gradually movingahead in terms of equipment replace-ment and staffing issues. Taking intocon sideration the overall budgetarycon straints in the country, we are sa -tis fied with the accomplished. We areyet to hire 35% of remaining person-nel to be able to function in full ca pa -city,” said Selimović.

The year of 2013 has been a turning

point in many areas.

“There were two activities of the Di -rectorate in 2013 of importance forthe security structure of BiH - the es -tablishment of the electronic data ex -chan ge system between the registriespreviously held by police and prose-cutorial institutions, which took placein July, and access to the databasesand protected communication systemof Inter pol (I24/7) for nine cantonalMinistries of Interior“ emphasised

Selimović.

Launched as a requirement from the

visa liberation roadmap, this system is

now being exceptionally well used.

“Since the establishment up until De -cem ber 2013, around 32 million ofda ta have been exchanged; on ave ra -ge 6 mil li on on a monthly basis. Bor -der Po lice, for instance, is using it forautomatic document checks with over50.000 queries a day,” noted Pena.

In spite of hosting the data exchange

system server, the Directorate has not

still been granted the direct access.

“Getting a direct access remains oneof the priorities. Inability to access thedata directly is significantly reducingour efficiency and slowing down com-pliance with our tasks in the field ofintegrated information on the securityin the country, in the internationalope rational police cooperation andpro tection of VIPs and facilities. Inthe end, it may jeopardise the securityof BiH citizens,” said Jurić.

The situation room structure has be -

en put in place, which can serve as

headquarters for the heads of police

agencies to handle complex police

ope rations in volving several police

agencies and cri ses that may happen

in the country. The next step towards

ma king this structure fully functional

is the finalisation of signatures of the

memoranda on cooperation, assis tan -

ce, and coordination in in formation

dis semination and protection of VIPs

and facilities, as well as joint ac tion of

police in crisis.

Challenges aheadThe Directorate continues full

swing ahead into 2014. The work on

the adoption and implementation of

the strategies that will regulate the

work and further development of this

institution, as well as activities and

cooperation with the police and other

agencies in BiH in the fight against

organised crime and corruption in the

next four years, are on the list of

strategic priorities.

On the operational level, the Direc to -

rate intends to continue with the deve -

lopments in the field of infor ma ti on

ex chan ge and cooperation with the po -

lice and other bodies in BiH, sig ning

the two previously mentioned memo-

randa, and further enhancement of the

electro nic data exchange system.

„We are commited to steering thework and development of the Direc to -rate in line with our determination forthe Directorate to become a new qual-ity in the police structure of BiH thatwill increase efficiency in the fightagainst the most serious forms of cri meand thus become a credible partner inthe region,“ concluded Selimović. �

Day-to-day coordination of the

twin ning project over the past two

years rested on two pillars: Pred -

rag Lučić, Assistant Director, Direc to -

rate for Coordination of Police Bodies,

and Pim Cappelle, Resident Twinning

Advisor. With the invaluable assistance

of Arijana Balić, they have succeeded

in ensuring efficient coordination of nu -

merous project-related activities within

and outside the country - in the spirit of

partnership, mutual trust and respect.

“Both commitment and professiona -lism of Pim and Arijana are praisewor-thy. The successfulness of project im -ple mentation in a rather complex poli -ti cal situation in BiH and multilayeredpolice structure very much depended ontheir eagerness and drive to act uponthe identified needs of the Directorate,”said Lučić.

The overall assessment of the quality

of engagement of the beneficiary was

also positive, not only in the prepara-

tion but also in the progress tracking -

always aiming higher.

“The Directorate was fully support-ive of the project and truly committed togetting the best out of it. Predrag, abo -ve all, made sure that both briefingsand de-briefings on every single activi-ty were carefully prepared and that thelessons learned were taken into consid-eration in the succeeding activity,” no -

ted Cappelle.

Both Lučić and Cappelle emphasised

the level of commitment of the four

participating EU member states – the

Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Slo -

venia, and their in-depth knowledge of

the situation in BiH and in the Direc to -

rate in particular. “We have had a chan -ce to work with the most competentexperts for each of the themes coveredregardless of the format of activity inquestion - training, workshop, analysisor assessment,“ added Lučić.

But, having a team of associates all

over Europe is not an easy undertaking.

However, this did not prevent the

experts to develop and implement all

activities jointly. “I am proud to saythat there has never been a single devi-ation among the experts on what couldand should or has been done in BiH tomake things functional, drawing upon

their own experiences and the best EUpractice,” said Cappelle.

Valuable experienceIn light of the competencies of the

Directorate in the operational police co -

ordination nationally and international-

ly, and in protecting the VIPs and facili -

ties, potential of the structure such as

the Directorate is enormous. However,

it is still not fully developed. Having

that in mind, Lučić emphasised two sets

of activities in the project implementa-

tion as particularly valuable and useful

- study visits and the compilati on of re -

ports, analysis, and recommendati ons.

For instance, analysis and recommen-

of practical experiences from the study

visits to the operational centres of the

Police of the Netherlands and Romania,

as well as Poland during the European

Football Championship, were used to

prepare and implement the activities ai -

med at the establishment of the situati -

on and operational centre of the Direc -

torate.

“I would single out the internshipswith the Europol in the Hague, with theAna lytics Department of the RomanianPolice and with the Central Protectionand Security Division of the Dutch Na -ti onal Police, where our officers parti -cipated in the demanding security ar -

ran gements for the celebration of thePrin ce’s Day (Prinsjesdag). This was avaluable experience for our officers,”said Lučić.

Maintaining the progressThis twinning project was a sign that

the European Union recognised the

needs and relevance of the Directorate

as a rather young state-level institution.

Lučić wishes that there had been an

immediate follow-up assistance of any

format. “The progress achieved has tobe maintained and taken to another le -vel. The EU assistance would be help-ful in this regard,” concluded Lučić.

Cappelle added that the further devel-

opment of the Directorate towards be -

coming a fully functioning institution

also requires continuous support by

both the Ministry of Security of BiH

and the BiH law enforcement agencies

as the main beneficiaries of the services

the Directorate is providing.

“From my perspective of a West Eu -ro pean, the advantage and the potentialof the police structure such as Direc to -rate are obvious. After two years of te -nure in BiH with the closest possible in -volvement in policing matters, I can saywith certainty that the security struc-ture of BiH is practically inconceivablewithout the Directorate,” concluded

Project Team: Project’s Engine

Predrag Lučić and Pim Cappelle during a study visit to Romania


The twinning project “Assistance to

the Directorate for Coordination of

Police Bodies” is closing on 1 Fe -

bru ary 2014. Envisioned as a two-year

project focused on the Directorate’s

overall capacity building, it was the first

of its kind rendered by the European

Union for this institution. Under the le -

a dership of the Department for Inter -

national Police Cooperation of the Na ti -

onal Police Agency (KLPD) of the Ne -

therlands, this twining project utilized a

broad range of experience of other im -

plementing partners from different Eu -

ro pean Union Member States such as

Poland, Romania, and Slovenia, as well

as expertise from the Europol.

As the project is drawing to its close,

it is time to touch upon the impact it has

had on its host, the achievements and

recommendations for future develop-

ment. More about it by the Steering Bo -

ard members: Jan de Vis, Project Lea -

der of behalf of Department for Inter na -

tional Police Cooperation, National Po -

lice Agency of the Netherlands, Came -

lia Danca, Director of the Directorate

for European Affairs, Programmes, and

International Relations, Romania, Mar -

cin Daniszewski, Twinning / TAIEX

Coordinator, Senior Specialist, Interna -

ti onal Police Cooperation Bureau of

Na tional Police Headquarters, Poland

and Du{an Kerin, Head of Sector for

International Police Cooperation, Mi -

nis try of In te rior, Slovenia.

Employing EU practices in BiHThe Directorate has been entrusted

with the role of coordinating the work

of the law enforcement of BiH, acting

as a focal point in the international ope -

ra tional police cooperation and provid-

ing protection to the VIPs and facilities.

These three segments of the Di rec to -

rate’s portfolio prompted the interest of

the Netherlands National Po li ce Agency

to nominate the project.

“The Dutch Police are proud of thede gree of development of these threesegments, VIP and facilities protectionin particular. Since we knew that theassistance in developing the segment ofinternational police cooperation in the

Directorate would greatly benefit fromcombining the expertise of severalcountries, we invited Romania, Poland,and Slovenia aboard,“ said de Vis, ex -

plaining the project preparation phase.

This proved to be a very effective,

diversified blend of experiences with a

consensus on the European standards,

which factored-in in the successful im -

plementation of the project. Each acti vi -

ty was developed and implemented jo -

intly by a four-member team.

“Our BiH colleagues had a chance tosee that, although different to someextent, all structures are fully corre-sponding to the European standards.They could compare the solutions wefound best for our countries and prepa -re a tailor-made model for themselves,”said Daniszewski.

“The experts applied flexibility inapproach, ensured that the programme

High appreciation of study visits The concept of study visits and internships with the different security structures of the participatingcountries was highly appreciated by the beneficiary. Their purpose was to round up a theoretical partof the training and also convey a clear message.“For instance, we took our BiH colleagues to international police cooperation sectors of all four coun-tries. The message in every single one of them was clear – this sector is a unique point for informationexchange at the international level,” said de Vis. “We provided colleagues with the concepts and me -tho dology used in individual countries to help them establish a model, which best serves their needs,”said Daniszewski. Kerin was of the opinion that there could have been more study visits organi zed inthe context of international police cooperation.

Learning from the European Experience


and content of activities are coherent,and fully corresponding to the needs ofthe beneficiary, but most importantlyalways representing an equal level ofthe European standards,” added Kerin.

Danca noted that all participating coun-

tries and Europol assigned their best

experts to this project. “In sharing Eu -ro pean experiences and employing thebest EU practices in BiH, this was ofparamount importance for all of us.”

Project implementation score 8The two-year training programme rol -

led out around 80 activities of different

formats – workshops, seminars, study

vi sits, fact-finding and assessment mis-

sions – with the overall objective of as -

sisting the Directorate to develop and

im plement the EU level of standards

and practices.

Full commitment of all those in vol -

ved was achieved in the very beginning

of the project with the consensus on the

needs and gaps within each of the com-

ponents. The implementation, though,

en countered some obstacles, which cau -

sed cancellation of 15% of activities re -

la ted to Europol, since the operational

agre ement between BiH and Europol

was not signed during the project imple-

mentation. “This has led to the cancel-lation and combining of the activities inthe last phase much to the dislike of thebeneficiary and us, participating ex -perts, since it impeded the full potentialof the project,” noted Kerin.

“If I would be asked to rate the over-all successfulness of the project from 0to 10, I would give it 8. It could have be -

en 9, had the political situation in BiHbeen more cooperative,” said de Vis.

Greatest achievements The interviewees unanimously agree

that the goals were fully reached in the

component focused on the enhancement

of the VIP and facilities protection sec-

tor.

“There has been no political interfer-ence; all sides involved cooperated tothe maximum extent in having a smoothmove from various locations to the cur-rent Directorate's headquarters. Propertraining programmes and equipmentha ve been provided and this is today afully functioning sector,” said de Vis.

The other two components – coordi-

nation and international operational po -

lice cooperation - have proved a bit mo -

re challenging, though in the end with

notable key successes.

“The situation room is in place. Thisstructure will accommodate managersof the BiH law enforcement during lar -ge scale security events or disasters thatthreaten the state security,” said Dani s -

zew ski. “I would like to add that allunits of the Directorate are in the samebuilding,” added Kerin. De Vis pointed

to the set-up of the electronic data ex -

chan ge system of police and prosecu-

tors registries which is in place since

July 2013.

Challenges aheadAs noted, 15% of the foreseen project

activities had to be cancelled due to the

non-existence of the operation agree-

ment with Europol, which would have

enabled the project to render assistance

with the concrete assignments stem-

ming from the road map. Nevertheless,

the project has carried out a lot of Eu ro -

pol awareness raising activities; inclu -

ding the internship with Europol to ex -

pe rience firsthand on how is Europol

functioning and what are the duties and

res ponsibilities of the national Europol

fo cal po int. “The project provided a lotof ins tru ments, analysis, assessmentand tra i nings and once the decision istaken, the Directorate will be able to hitthe ground running,“ noted Dan ca.

Follow up mechanism The interviewees agree that two years

is not a sufficient period to reach the

desired end-state, which is a fully func-

tioning institution. “The beneficiarywas interested in the continuation ofassistance. However, they are awarethat any decision on the possible exten-sion or different format of the EU assis-tance should be based on the soundassessment of achievements and the de -velopments inside BiH,“ said de Vis.

“We have done our best and we de cla -red a successful project. However, itwill take more time for the real progressin recognising the power and potentialof the Directorate in the police structureof BiH,” said Danca. Kerin noted that

“we can conclude that the twinningpro ject represented a solid basis for theupgrade and further development of theDirectorate.“

To ensure the irreversibility of the

pro gress achieved, the project will pro-

vide a monitoring mechanism, which

will be part of the final report along

with the list of recommendations. �

Farewell Bidding farewell to the colleagues from theDirectorate, the Steering Board members con-veyed a joint message: “We would like to jointlyurge the management and the personnel of theDirectorate to continue proactively building theDirectorate as a recognizable added value to thepolice structure in BiH. Furthermore, to contin-ue developing capacities through trainings, useof modern technologies, innovations in workpraxis, and partnerships based on professional-ism and mutual respect, which will undoubtedlyresult in the Directorate becoming a fully func-tional, modern and goal-oriented police agency,that measurably contributes to security of thecountry and the region.”

In implementing its legal competen-

cies, the Directorate for Coordination

of Police Bodies of BiH has estab-

lished a Situation Centre in late 2013.

The Centre is equipped with the most

mo dern technical equipment, which

will enable swift and timely response in

crisis or cases of disasters.

“The Situation Centre will enable Di -rectorate to give a direct contributionto the development of the security sys-tem’s capacities and capabilities in linewith the highest standards and legalobli gations to act preventively by un -der taking efficient measures and activi-

ties and by addressing security risksand threats in an adequate manner,pro tecting interests of the citizens”,

said Dragan Mitrović, inspector for

standardisation and best practices of the

Directorate for Coordination of Police

Bodies of BiH.

Modern social trends are marked by

dynamic changes in the international

relations, which suggest the ever-rising

new security challenges, risks and

threats that require timely response.

The established Situation Centre repre-

sents a response to such trends, and it is

incorporating the experiences from the

EU Member States gathered during dif-

ferent study visits organized through

the project of twining support to the Di -

rectorate. In this way, the Directo rate is

demonstrating to public its strategic

determination to actively contribute to

ensuring and enhancing regional and

global security.

''The Situation Centre will allow for acoordinated involvement of all stake-holders in the field of security towardsintegrated functioning. At the same ti -me, it also represents a starting techni-cal assumption which is providing gro -unds for more efficient crisis manage-ment, through involvement of all state-level authorities, as well as a basis fordevelopment of standard operating pro-cedures for crisis management'', added

Mitrović.

The Directorate’s Situation Centre is

currently the best equipped and most

functional centre in Europe, and its fur-

ther upgrade is a process which re qui -

res continuous adjustments of available

resources, primarily of the Operational

Centre. The implementation of this pro -

ject was financed by the Directorate in

amount of ca. 70.000 KM. �

Directorate Officials Pay a Study Visit to RomaniaSarajevo, 1 March 2013 - Officials of the Directorate forCoordination of Police Bodies of Bosnia and Her ze govinapaid a study visit to Romania from 24 to 28 Fe bru ary 2013.Following Slovenia, Poland and the Nether lands, this wasthe fourth visited EU Member State under this twinningproject. Officials of the Main Inspectorate of RomanianPolice (GIRP), Central Intelligence Analysis Unit (CIAU)and International Police Cooperation Centre were onlysome of those who welcomed the BiH colleagues and pre-sented their work. ”In the implementation of the twinningproject we pledged to familiarize the Directorate’s officialswith different models of police functioning in the EUMember States, particularly in those participating in theproject”, said Pim Cappelle, Resident Twinning Adviser.”From my point of view, these past four visits were useful,not only in terms of seeing how BIH law enforcement canbenefit from experiences of other countries on their pathtowards the EU, but also in terms of strengthening the tiesbetween the Directorate and these respective police agen-cies abroad for the years to come.”

Post-analysis on SecurityArrangements for Sarajevo 2012Inter-Religious ConferenceSarajevo, 1 October 2012 - ”The Operational Plan develo -ped for security arrangements of the Inter-Religious Con fe ren -ce, held in Sarajevo from 9 to 11 September 2012, was fullyimplemented in accordance with the best policing practices. Thekey to success of this operation, coordinated by the Directoratefor Coordination of Police Bodies of BiH, was an excellent co -operation and exchange of information between the organi serand all the relevant law enforcement agencies at all times,”reads the post-analysis report about security arrangements forthis high-level gathering. ”From the policing point of view, thiswas a highly complex task. In addition to the highest religiousleaders of the world, the organiser expected a number of otherVIPs including Presidents and Prime Ministers,” said HimzoSelimovi}, Director of the Directorate. The Directorate thereforehad to coordinate activities of a number of stakeholders at bothnational and international level. ”It was of a high importance tomaintain constant communication and exchange of informationbetween the law enforcement agencies, permanent contact withthe Intelligence Security Agency of BIH and relevant securityservices of the countries whose highest officials were sche -duled to come,” added Selimovi}.

Directorate Becomes a Proud Owner of Fully Armoured JaguarSarajevo, 4 April 2013 - Directorate forCoordination of Police Bodies of Bosnia andHerzegovina received today a valuable dona-tion from the Dutch National Police — fullyarmoured Jaguar Sovereign. ”Such a vehicle isa valuable addition to the fleet of the VIPProtection Unit members. They are very oftensupposed to provide close protection to thehigh profile diplomatic visitors, and the ar -moured vehicle which offers the highest levelof protection is what every unit of this profilewants and needs to have at disposal,” said

Ad Casteleijn, from the Dutch Central Pro -tec ti on and Security Division.

Crisis Communication:Danger and Opportunity Sarajevo, 20 December 2012 - A theoretical

elements refreshing knowledge on ’do’s and

don’ts’ in crisis communication and practical

ex amples in coordinating and communicating

were discussed in the seminar organised on 19

December 2012. The seminar brought to gether

Chiefs of Operations’ Centres and Spo kes pe r -

sons at various levels of BIH law en for cement

who to exchange experiences with the Roma -

nian, Slovenian and Polish colleagues. The key

to successful crisis communication is thorough

preparations and clear division of res po n sibi -

lities and cooperation. A crisis in gene ral is cha -

racterized by its uncertain nature, the re sul ting

insecurity of the public and suddenly gro wing

need for information. The situation gets further

complicated when the crisis res ponse requires

coordinated work of several law enforcement

agencies. Who speaks to media? ”In such cases,

harmonised statements are of particular impor-

tance. Unfortunately, there is no procedure in

place to regulate cooperation and coordination

among spokespersons. We coordinate state-

ments sometimes but it is more an act of good

will,” said Halid Emki}, Br~ko District Po -

lice Spokesperson.

Seminar on the Role of Directorate in Local and International Police Cooperation Sarajevo, 13 December 2013 - One of the competencies of the Directorate for Coordination of Police

Bodies of Bosnia and Herzegovina is to be at service of the law enforcement in BiH in the field of improve-

ment of international operational police cooperation. More precisely, the Directorate is tasked with securing,

implementing and developing the cooperation of the BiH law enforcement agencies with the international

police organisations at global and regional level (INTERPOL, Europol and SELEC), as well as with the police

agencies of the same level outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina. ”It is of utmost importance that all concerned

fully understand the role of the Directorate as police agency in charge of coordination and increase of effi-

ciency of the international operational police cooperation,” said Samir Kavazovi}, Assistant Director and

Head of Sector for International Police Cooperation.
