On 4 December, a delegation headed by Detlef Schroeder, Deputy Director of CEPOL was welcomed in Sarajevo by H. E. Fahrudin Radoncic, Minister of Interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the meeting CEPOL confirmed its commitment to reaching a working arrangement with Bosnia and Herzegovina, and discussions about the roadmap of cooperation and the need for international police joint efforts to counteract cross border organised crime were also addressed.
The delegation took the opportunity to visit the Bosnian Federation police college in Sarajevo. The facility, where both basic and further training are delivered, has been recently refurbished featuring a brand new amphitheatre. CEPOL representatives also visited the College of the Republika Serbska in Banja Luka on 5 December. Both institutions gave CEPOL’s delegation a warm welcome.
