Western Balkan countries make progress tackling economic crime
Representatives from the Western Balkan countries came together in Ljubljana to discuss the implementation of the Regional Anti-Corruption and Illicit Finance Roadmap for the Western Balkans. The meeting was organized by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Regional Anti-Corruption Initiative (RAI).
The meeting stressed that the Western Balkan countries have achieved progress in fulfilling the main goals of the Regional Anti-Corruption and Illicit Finance Roadmap, especially in further strengthening conflict of interest and asset declaration systems, and fighting economic crime.
Members of the Montenegrin delegation expressed a strong determination to enhance criminal justice responses to corruption and economic crime through the creation of a regional network of specialized prosecutors, law enforcement and financial intelligence units in the Western Balkans Jurisdictions.
