From 10 to 12 April the OSCE Mission to Serbia, together with the US Department of Justice’s Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development Assistance and Training (OPDAT), organised a training course on proactive investigation in corruption, financial fraud and economic crimes for Serbian prosecutors and police in Novi Sad.
The objective of the course was to teach prosecutors and police officials effective and proactive methods in investigating corruption and fraud cases on the basis of previously performed case studies. About 25 participants examined a case study of procurement fraud, discussed ways to apply lessons learned in their daily work and to enhance team work with other agencies and their personal investigative skills. This activity is part of the Mission’s wider efforts to equip state institutions to better prevent, detect and fight corruption.
