In 2020, Slovenia continues to implement development assistance to Montenegro, which is aimed at strengthening the role of the helicopter unit of the Ministry of Interior of Montenegro within the establishment of a system of helicopter emergency medical services and helicopter police operations. Montenegro does not yet provide these public services systematically. An interdepartmental working group has been established to set up the system and will use Slovenian experience in its work and in inter-sectorial dialogue. For this purpose, in Podgorica, during 11–12 March 2020, 22–24 April 2020 and 3–5 June 2020, workshops and working meetings will be held and assisted by the experts from Slovenian Police and Ministry of Health.

In the year 2020 the implementation of Slovenian international development assistance to the Republic of Serbia continues, with the aim of improving the response of police patrols to the needs of the people, coordination of police work in the field, including adequate response to migration and protection of police officers in the performance of police tasks. It is a contribution to the UN sustainable development goals, to develop an efficient, responsible and transparent institution, which Slovenia has also identified as a priority in the implementation of international development cooperation.
The ICT transformation is a public sector imperative in current times and governments have to harness innovative technologies to create better outcomes for citizens, which is also part of subject matter development assistance. To this end and among other activities, innovative ICT technology is being jointly developed that will help Serbia to effectively manage patrols. In addition to ICT professionals, the development is closely involved with representatives of all police powers; general, traffic and border police, who gathered in Belgrade on January 22, 2020 and successfully tested the ICT solutions developed so far.

The project is part of program activities carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior / Police of the Republic of Slovenia and CVS Mobile,and is financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia from funds for international development cooperation.
