SARAJEVO, March 2 (FENA) - Minister of Security Dragan Mektić and Director of SIPA Perica Stanić visited the UK from 27 February - 1 March on a study trip organized by the British Embassy Sarajevo.
During the visit, the Minister and Director met UK Minister for Europe Sir Alan Duncan and Minister for Security and Economic Crime Ben Wallace for discussions about cooperation between the UK and BiH in tackling serious organized crime and countering terrorism, particularly in the run-up to the UK-hosted Western Balkans Summit.
Mr. Mektić and Mr. Stanić also visited the Metropolitan Police Headquarters at New Scotland Yard, the National Crime Agency and HM Revenue and Customs.
The agencies shared UK experience and expertise in tackling terrorism, serious organized crime and financial crime.
The UK is strongly committed to security and stability in the Western Balkans and works closely with law enforcement agencies at all levels of government in BiH.
The visit is closely linked to other work the UK is doing to support BiH authorities in tackling serious security threats.
Through an intelligence-led policing project, the UK has been supporting BiH's policing agencies to develop their capacity to handle criminal intelligence in support of the fight against terrorism, organized crime and corruption.
During his visit, the Minister was also briefed on UK support for BiH’s forensic ballistics laboratories to help them prevent firearms trafficking, the British Embassy to BiH stated.
