From 2 to 4 of July 2014 training for customs administration and border police of the Republic of Slovenia will be taking place in Macedonia in the area of monitoring and improving results in detection of smuggling and illegal migrations. The training is developed for the heads of customs offices and commanders of the border police stations at the main border crossings in Macedonia. The training will be practical in nature and will be taking place in focused exchange of experience between colleagues from Slovenia and Macedonia, resulting in directly applicable solutions.

The project which is implemented in cooperation with Ministry of Interior, police and customs administration of the Republic of Slovenia 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.

The project is part of the continuous support of Slovenia to Macedonia since 2008, with several projects of official Slovenian development cooperation in the area of integrated border management, customs union and internal affairs already successfully completed.

Skupna podpora Slovenije mejni policiji in carinski upravi Republiki Makedoniji se nadaljuje

Od 2. do 4. julija 2014 bo v Makedoniji potekalo usposabljanje za carinsko upravo in mejno
policijo Republike Makedonije na področju spremljanja in povečevanja rezultatov pri odkrivanju tihotapljenja in ilegalnih migracij. Usposabljanje je namenjeno vodjem carinskih izpostav in komandirjem postaj mejne policije na največjih mejnih prehodih v Makedoniji. Usposabljanje bo praktično naravnano in bo potekalo skozi ciljno izmenjavo izkušenj med kolegi iz Slovenije in Makedonije ter omogočilo, da se rešitve takoj uporabijo v praksi.

Projekt, ki se izvaja v sodelovanju z ministrstvom za notranje zadeve, policijo in carinsko upravo Republike Slovenije, je del programskih aktivnosti CEP, ki jih financira Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve iz sredstev za mednarodno razvojno sodelovanje.

Gre za kontinuirano podporo Slovenije Makedoniji saj je od leta 2008 uspešno realizirano že več projektov slovenskega mednarodnega razvojnega sodelovanja na področju integriranega upravljanja meje, carinske unije in notranjih zadev.
