Internal Affairs Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said that Serbia is efficiently combating high-tech and all other forms of crime in which computers are used. He said criminal charges had been filed by the police high-tech department against 82 people this year. “Ministry personnel took part in several large-scale operations against high-tech crime with international partners,” he said.
“The ministry has specially trained police officers equipped with the latest equipment and software but I still feel that we need all available partners in the international community, private sector, civil society for this struggle because that is the only way that we will improve the cyber security of all citizens of Serbia,” he said.
The conference was attended by European Commissioner for Migrations and Internal Affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos who said that cyber security is a very urgent and important issue for democracies, elections and the overall safety of society. “Our goal is to remove potential threats and strengthen the capacities of the European Union,” the commissioner said.
