In the past week (21 - 25 October 2013), the Centre for European Perspective (CEP) along with the Police of the Republic of Slovenia within the framework of international development cooperation in Slovenia conducted a study visit of chiefs in traffic police of the Republic of Serbia.

On the first day, immediately after entering Slovenia, representatives of the Serbian traffic police familiarized themselves with the Border Police Station and Police Directorate Novo Mesto. Main work was related to the recurrence of utility models of leadership and management skills useful for the traffic police with the assistance of expert Dr Tatjana Dragovič which we have been learning about already with the same groups of participants in Serbia in 2011. We checked achievement of goals they have set in 2011 and set goals, what they want in their leadership and management improved through the study visit to Slovenia and what they will focus in analyzing leadership and management of the Slovenian police.

On the second day the work was conducted in the Ljubljana Police Directorate, led by the Head of the Road Traffic Section Primož Kadunc. Participants were welcomed by the Director of the Police Directorate Ljubljana Stanislav Vrečar. First, they observed work briefing and posting in case of demanding work situations such as intensified control according to the methodology Mermaid. This was followed by a moderated discussion with the Ljubljana Traffic Police Station Commander Janez Gradin, where the main topic of discussion was describing one's own practice of leadership and management, organization of work and the working environment with the purpose of identifying differences in the mode of leadership in practice and for the acquisition of practical ideas to introduce in Serbia. Questioning and analysis was guided by Dr Dragovič. After the tour of the Traffic Police Station Ljubljana the next activity was targeted observation of the work process of intensified control on the motorway service area Lukovica, where in addition to the various organisational units of the Slovenian police, teams of the Customs Administration, Forestry Inspectorate , DARS, and Cestel also participated. Participants were divided into four groups; each group was given his mentor and a list of tasks on findings from the field of leadership and management, which had to be reported after closer examination. At the Police Station Ljubljana - Moste participants were received by the Commander Simon Slokan who showed them the station and detention centre, and then the participants, together with expert Dr Tatjana Dragovič, analyzed the characteristics of leadership and work environment and leadership skills used in Police Directorate Ljubljana. In the presence of the Ambassador of Serbia to Slovenia Aleksandar Radovanović, the Serbian delegation was also received by the Mayor of Ljubljana Zoran Jankovič.

On the third day the work was conducted in the area of Celje Police Directorate, chaired by the Head of the Section of Road Traffic Elvis A. Herbaj. Participants were acquainted with the work program of the Centre on safe driving and Motorway Base of DARS Vransko, participated in practical demonstration of safe driving skills, visited highway control center, which controls five tunnels and two toll station and exchanged experiences on the leadership and management of complex work cases such as traffic accidents in tunnels. In Celje , the participants were welcomed by the Deputy Director General of the Police of the Republic of Slovenia Karol Turk and the Director of the Police Directorate Celje Jože Senica .

Participants learned about functioning of the Police Directorate Maribor on the fourth day. Activities were led by Commander of Traffic Police Station Maribor Marjan Ferk and the participants were also welcomed by the Assistant Director Rafael Viltužnik. To enable comparison, similarly to Ljubljana, a targeted observation of work briefing and posting for intensified control, this time of cargo vehicles according to the methodology Pegasus was organised. Cestel introduced the latest technology for cargo vehicles control with the possibility of using the Internet. The participants took part in the implementation of intensified control at a staging point Lormanje and like in Ljubljana, divided into groups with specific tasks and mentors. On the basis of already acquired knowledge of leadership and management skills in the police, leadership and management practices found in Slovenia, equipped with analytical tools practiced with Dr Dragovič, the participants observed differences in leadership and management between Ljubljana and Maribor, as well as the differences between the characteristics of their leadership and what they found in Slovenia. For targets that they have set for improvements in the area of leadership and management, the participants made an action plan whose ultimate goal is to improve the quality of work and professionalism of police officers.

The Head of the Serbian delegation, Traffic Police Chief Slaviša Matić pointed out the assessment of the participants, which was: the analytically supported study visit is the most convincing and most intensive way to get the matrix of effective management process connected with the practice of the Slovenian police, followed by targeted exchange of experience. CEP Program Director Andreja Dolničar Jeraj on behalf of the organizers and hosts pointed out that a project has been completed with the end of the study visit and it is essential the Action Plans to be implemented, i.e. transfer into the practice, in the work of the Serbian police, which will be monitored in further cooperation, as well as CEP will continue to provide assistance in the transfer of experience and change management .

The support of Slovenia to the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia in the field of reform is important for Serbia's accession to the EU as it is the reform of justice , freedom and security which is identified as a priority reform of Serbia's membership of the EU. In this area, already since 2009, the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Serbia has a high-quality long term cooperation with Slovenia through the CEP, in all areas of police work .

The project is part of the CEP programme activities funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia with funds for international development cooperation.

Študijski obisk prometne policije Srbije

V preteklem tednu (21. – 25. oktobra) je CEP skupaj s Policijo Republike Slovenije v okviru projekta mednarodnega razvojnega sodelovanje, v Sloveniji izvajal študijski obisk vodilnih v prometni policiji Republike Srbije.

Prvi dan, takoj po vstopu v Slovenijo, so predstavniki srbske prometne policije spoznali delo postaje mejne policije Obrežje in PU Novo Mesto, osrednje delo pa se je nanašalo na ponovitev uporabnih modelov veščin vodenja za prometno policijo, ki smo jih na primerih iz delovanja slovenske policije z isto skupino udeležencev že spoznavali v okviru usposabljanja v Srbiji leta 2011 s pomočjo ekspertinje dr. Tatjane Dragovič. Preverili smo doseganje ciljev, ki so si jih zadali v letu 2011 in postavili cilje, kaj si želijo pri svojem vodenju izboljšati s pomočjo študijskega obiska v Sloveniji in na kaj se bodo osredotočili pri analiziranju vodenja pri slovenski policiji.

Drugi dan je delo potekalo na področju Policijske uprave Ljubljana, ki ga je vodil vodja Oddelka za cestni promet Primož Kadunc, udeležence pa je pozdravil tudi direktor Policijske uprave Ljubljana Stanislav Vrečar. Najprej so opazovali odpravo na delo v primeru zahtevne delovne situacije kot je poostren nadzor po metodologiji Morska deklica. Sledil je moderiran razgovor s komandirjem Postaje prometne policije Ljubljana Janezom Gradinom, kjer je osrednja tema razprave bilo opisovanje lastne prakse načina vodenja, organizacije dela in delovnega okolja, namenjena pa je bila ugotavljanju razlik v načinu vodenja v praksi in pridobivanju konkretnih idej za uvedbo v Srbiji. Spraševanje in analiziranje je usmerjala dr. Dragovič. Po ogledu Postaje prometne policije Ljubljana je naslednja aktivnost bila ciljno opazovanje delovnega procesa poostrenega nadzora na avtocestnem počivališču Lukovica, kjer so poleg različnih služb slovenske policije sodelovale tudi ekipa iz Carinske uprave, Gozdarskega inšpektorata, DARS-a in Cestel-a. Udeleženci so se razdelili v štiri skupine, vsaka skupina je dobila svojega mentorja in seznam nalog glede ugotovitev iz področja vodenja, ki so jih morali po opravljenem poostrenem nadzoru poročati. Na Policijski postaji Ljubljana-Moste je udeležence sprejel komandir Simon Slokan in jim razkazal postajo in center za pridržanje, potem pa so udeleženci s pomočjo trenerke Tatjane Dragovič analizirali značilnosti vodenja in delovnega okolja ter uporabljene veščine vodenja v PU Ljubljana. Ob navzočnosti ambasadorja Srbije v Sloveniji Aleksandra Radovanovića je srbsko delegacijo sprejel tudi ljubljanski župan Zoran Jankovič.

Tretji dan je delo potekalo na območju Policijske uprave Celje, vodil pa ga je vodja Oddelka za cestni promet Elvis A. Herbaj. Udeleženci so se seznanili s programom dela Centra varne vožnje na Vranskem in Avtocestne baze DARS-a Vransko, praktičnim prikazom veščin varne vožnje, ogledali so si nadzorni center avtocestne baze, ki nadzoruje pet predorov in dve cestninski postaji ter izmenjevali izkušnje o vodenju v primerih zahtevnih situacij kot so prometne nesreče v predorih. V Celju sta udeležence pozdravila namestnik generalnega direktorja Policije Republike Slovenije Karol Turk in direktor Policijske uprave Celje Jože Senica.

Četrti dan so udeleženci spoznavali delovanje Policijske uprave Maribor, aktivnosti pa je vodil komandir Postaje prometne policije Marjan Ferk, udeležence pa je pozdravil tudi pomočnik direktorja Rafael Viltužnik. Zaradi možnosti primerjave je podobno kot v Ljubljani organizirano ciljno opazovanje odprave na delo za poostren nadzor, tokrat tovornih vozil na avtocesti po metodologiji Pegaz. Cestel je predstavil najnovejšo tehnologijo za kontrolo tovornih vozil in možnost uporabe interneta. Udeleženci so se udeležili izvedbe poostrenega nadzora tovornih vozil na počivališču Lormanje in se podobno kot v Ljubljani, razdelili v skupine, s konkretnimi nalogami in mentorji. Na podlagi pridobljenega znanja o veščinah vodenja v policiji, analitskim orodjem, s katerim jih je opremila dr. Dragovič in ugotovljenimi praksami vodenja v Sloveniji so udeleženci ugotavljali razlike v vodenju med Ljubljano in Mariborom, kakor tudi razlike med značilnostim lastnega vodenja in tistim, kar so ugotovili v Sloveniji. Za cilje, ki so si jih postavili na področju izboljšav vodenja, so udeleženci, vsak za svoj cilj, naredili akcijski načrt, katerega končni cilj je izboljšanje kvalitete dela in profesionalizma policistov.

Vodja srbske delegacije prometne policije načelnik Slaviša Matić je izpostavil oceno udeležencev, da je analitsko podprt študijski obisk najprepričljivejši in najintenzivnejši način, da se matriko učinkovitega procesa vodenja poveže s prakso slovenske policije in da pride do ciljno usmerjene izmenjave izkušenj. Programska direktorica CEP Andreja Dolničar Jeraj pa je v imenu organizatorja izpostavila, da s študijskim obiskom projekt ni zaključen in da je ključnega pomena realizacija akcijskega načrta in prenos oziroma uporaba v praksi, v delo srbske policije, kar bo v okviru nadaljnjega sodelovanja spremljano, prav tako pa bo CEP še naprej nudil pomoč pri prenosu izkušenj in vpeljevanju sprememb.

Podpora Slovenije Ministrstvu za notranje zadeve Republike Srbije na področju reform je pomembno za Srbijo pri približevanju EU saj je prav reforma na področju pravosodja, svobode in varnosti izpostavljena kot prioritetna reforma Srbije za članstvo EU. Na tem področju Ministrstvo za notranje zadeve Republike Srbije, preko CEP-a, kvalitetno sodeluje s Slovenijo že od leta 2009, na vseh področjih delovanja policije.

Projekt je del programskih aktivnosti CEP, ki jih financira Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve iz sredstev za mednarodno razvojno sodelovanje.
