Izmenjava izkušenj Slovenije in Makedonije o medinstitucionalnem sodelovanju pri p
reiskovanju korupcije
V Makedoniji je od 5. – 7. decembra 2016 potekala delavnica, v okviru katere je Slovenija izmenjevala izkušnje z makedonskimi organi odkrivanja in pregona na temo krepitve medinstitucionalnega sodelovanje v boju proti korupciji. Pri izvedbi projekta je sodelovalo Ministrstvo za notranje zadeve, Policija in Specializirano državno tožilstvo Republike Slovenije.
Delo je potekalo skozi razpravo in analizo konkretnih primerov, s pomočjo katerih sta makedonska in slovenska stran ugotavljale, kakšne razlike glede medinstitucionalnega sodelovanja v boju proti korupciji obstajajo v zakonodaji, izvajanju zakonodaje, pristopih in organizaciji in katere izkušnje velja uporabiti, da bi sodelovanje pri preiskovanju korupcije bilo uspešnejše. Udeleženci so se strinjali, da za krepitev medinstitucionalnega sodelovanja ni boljšega načina kot so skupna usposabljanja državnih organov, ki sodelujejo v boju proti korupciji in da je bila delavnica, ki je namenila posebno pozornost vprašanjem sodelovanja, še posebej dobra priložnost, da se naredi kakšen konkreten korak za izboljšave tega sodelovanja.
Projekt je del programskih aktivnosti, ki jih financira Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve iz sredstev za mednarodno razvojno sodelovanje.
