The EUPM and the OHR are satisfied with the results so far of the ongoing police restructuring road show. The public meetings have proven to be successful in explaining the benefits of police reform to the public of BiH and have seen good participation and lively discussions and debates.
This week will see two joint EUPM/OHR Teams travelling throughout BiH. The schedule is as follows. The teams will be in
- Mostar today at Hrvatski Dom “Herceg Stjepan Kosaca”
- Bugojno today at the Town Hall
Tomorrow, March 23, they will be in
- Trebinje at the Town Hall.
- Jajce at the Town Hall
On Thursday, March 24 meetings will be held in
- Nevesinje at the Town Hall
- Kiseljak at the local Cinema “Hrvatski Dom” next to the Town Hall.
All meetings start at 1800 hrs.
One of the purposes of the meetings is to deconstruct the myths linked to police restructuring. Police restructuring is not about abolishing the entities, or the Entity Ministry of Interiors – it’s solely about creating an professional police service, accountable to the citizens and effective in fighting crime.
Each public meeting will focus on answering questions from members of the public.
