Today the European Commission has adopted a new program to support cooperation on police services between the EU and the Eastern Partnership (EaP) neighboring countries.
The Eastern Partnership Police Cooperation Program will promote police cooperation on issues related to cross-border crime between the EU and the Eastern Partnership countries and among the EaP countries themselves.
“By doing so, the EU will help to strengthen the rule of law in the region,” reports EU Mission in Azerbaijan.
According to the information in the framework of the adopted program a series of activities such as study tours, exchange programs, training and meetings will be organized to facilitate networking and build partnerships and trust among the police forces of the EU and EaP countries.
The total budget of the program is 5 million euros planned for the period of four years.
