The U.S. Embassy, through its programs on law enforcement and prosecutorial assistance, recently connected representatives of the Montenegrin National Police Directorate and Montenegrin prosecution and judiciary to a regional event on prosecuting transnational criminal organizations.
A total of three online events will be conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), relying on participation from Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Croatia. The first event examined plea bargaining and the use of cooperating defendants in complex criminal investigations.
The online events are conducted live and use simultaneous interpretation in four languages. The Embassy supported the event through its programs on law-enforcement assistance managed by the DOJ International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) and its rule of law program managed by the State Department’s International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Program.
