U.S. Embassy in Podgorica in cooperation with the Center for Training in Judiciary and State Prosecution of Montenegro, organized a Conference on Trafficking in Persons November 19-20, 2018, in Budva.
This conference gathered a number of judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officials to discuss the forming of a joint task force to combat human trafficking. If approved by the Government of Montenegro, this joint task force would be modeled after the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force , which operates in the largest and busiest border crossing in the world between Mexico and the United States. Members of San Diego’s task force joined the conference to share their insights and experience with Montenegrin counterparts.
