PACO-Serbia
project is to fight economic crime,
money laundering and terrorist
financing as well as cybercrime in
the Republic of Serbia, and it’s
implemented by the Council of
Europe.
It was
launched in December 2005 and will
last at least 24 months. The project
is jointly funded by the European
Agency for Reconstruction and
Council of Europe
It will support the authorities
of Serbia in a comprehensive review
on national legislation against
economic crime to ensure its
compatibility with existing
international standards and to
remove inconsistencies:
- efforts to ensure that best
practices in the legislation of
criminal justice and law
enforcement systems are more
widely known among law-makers
and that law enforcement, judges
and prosecutors benefit from
training;
- strengthening anti-money
laundering and countering
terrorist financing system
through training, improvement of
legislation and development of
IT department in the FIU;
- enhancing capacity to fight
cybercrime through provision of
training and assistance in
complying with international
standards.
The
project will also support the
Republic of Serbia in the
ratification and implementation into
national law of European Treaties
(in particular the Convention on
money laundering and terrorist
financing and Convention on
Cybercrime) to which it is not yet
party.
