Bar: The OSCE is helping strengthen Montenegro's ability to combat arms and human trafficking through targeted training for border and criminal police officers. From 13 to 16 May in Bar, Montenegro, the OSCE Transnational Threats Department (TNTD), in close coordination with the OSCE Mission to Montenegro, trained 15 officers from Montenegro's Police Directorate as part of its ongoing support for border security and management. According to EMM, the course marked another deployment of the OSCE-led Mobile Training Team (MTT). It brought together expert trainers from the national police forces of North Macedonia and Tunisia, the OSCE Forum for Security and Co-operation, and INTERPOL's I-Force Project. National experts from the Ministry of the Interior, the criminal police, and the Forensic Centre of Montenegro participated, along with representatives from the US Embassy, including the Director of its Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs. Siv-Katrine Leirtroe, Head of TNTD's Border Se curity and Management Unit, emphasized that this course is part of the OSCE's long-standing support to participating States in strengthening border security in a human rights-based way. Montenegro's location, bordering the Schengen area, places it at a crucial juncture in the regional and European security landscape. It becomes a place where threats can be intercepted, cooperation can begin, and resilience is built.
