As part of the Slovenian Development Cooperation Program, from 29 June to 2 July 2021, workshops were conducted in North Macedonia needed for the development of capacities in conducting financial investigations and for confiscating assets of crime and property of illegal origin from criminals.
The European Union pays particular attention to the prevention and fight against organized and serious crime by stepping up the activities of law enforcement agencies to confiscate proceeds of crime and property of illegal origin. This issue is important within the EU, as well as in the integration of the Republic of North Macedonia into the European Union. Financial investigations will be one of the key indicators that the EU will monitor when assessing the fulfilment of the criteria for EU membership.
Financial investigations are an extensive professional interdisciplinary field, where Slovenian development cooperation has been providing support to law enforcement agencies in North Macedonia for several years, and this time the work was carried out by exchanging expertise in analytics and standard operating procedures in conducting financial investigations. Thirty-two representatives of all relevant Macedonian institutions actively attended the workshops: the Ministry of Interior, State Prosecution, Financial Police, Customs Administration, Tax Administration and Financial Intelligence Office. On the Slovenian side as well, comprehensive cooperation was ensured – representatives of key Slovenian bodies for conducting financial investigations participated: the Ministry of the Interior and the Police, State Prosecution for Organised Crime and Corruption and Financial Administration.
The project is part of the programme activities of Slovenia’s Development Cooperation Programme financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia and carried out together with the State Prosecution, Financial Administration, Ministry of Interior and Police of the Republic of Slovenia.

Management of patrols is an important part of the police response to people’s needs when their lives, safety, or property are at stake. The needs of vulnerable groups are particularly important here. In many cases, it is essential, even a matter of life or death, how quickly a patrol can respond. A police officer who performs a dangerous task in the field can also be in danger of death. It is therefore important that we have a well-functioning patrol management system that enables the efficient management of all police capacities.
In the period from 8 to 11 June 2021, a series of workshops was held, the purpose of which was to strengthen capacity and prepare for the integration of organizational units in the field of police administrations Bor, Pirot, Požarevac and Zaječar in the patrol management system. Representatives of these police administrations exchanged their experiences with their colleagues from organizational units in the territory of Police Administration Sremska Mitrovica and Police Administration Vranje, as well as with representatives of the Police of the Republic of Slovenia. The Slovenian Police were represented as active interlocutors by Primož Kadunc, Head of the Road Traffic Department in the Uniformed Police Sector, Miha Ristič from the Operational Communication Center, both Police Administration Ljubljana and Martin Detiček, Assistant Commander of the Police Station Brežice from the Police Administration Novo mesto.
The project is part of the program activities of international development cooperation, financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia and implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and the Police of the Republic of Slovenia.
