The overview of 28 small-scale civil society organisations (CSO) projects supported by the OSCE Mission to Serbia in the 2010–2015 period explains what activities of CSOs in Serbia influence security policies at the national and local level, and what the contributions of CSOs are to security sector reform.

The Commentary to the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings (PC.DEC/557), the 2005 Addendum Addressing Special Needs of Child Victims of Trafficking for Protection and Assistance (PC.DEC/557/Rev.1) and the 2013 Addendum to the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings: One Decade Later (PC.DEC/1107/Corr.11) is designed to clarify the most challenging issues addressed by the OSCE anti-trafficking commitments and recommendations and to continue to help in the Action Plan’s implementation by all stakeholders. The Commentary has the goal to provide technical assistance to the participating States, in line with the SR/CTHB’s mandate. It also is to serve as a useful, and much needed, reminder of the so-called “agreed OSCE language”, language that clearly demonstrates basic human rights principles and internationally agreed human rights norms and terminology.

The report assesses the progress made by Kosovo institutions in respect to the Council of Europe’s Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities in the areas of inter-community dialogue, security and justice, language, education, returns, culture and media. The report finds that, while progress has been achieved in certain areas, more remains to be done to ensure the protection of communities’ rights. It also provides recommendations to the relevant institutions on how to improve their implementation of the Framework Convention.

The Justice Monitor is an annual publication of the observations of OSCE monitors in the first instance courts in Kosovo. The Justice Monitor aims to provide policymakers and justice sector actors with indicators not otherwise available to assist in the identification of compliance gaps in the administration of justice and the tracking of progress achieved in closing those gaps.

The Guidebook is focused on several aspects, in particular the phenomenon of electronic communication and replacement of the conventional system of stream data with a new one, which enables the transfer of large scale data in a faster and more efficient way. The Guidebook is not intended to give step by step instructions, but the idea is to offer a useful tool- a guide that contains terms facilitating the identification of tools committing this type of crime, and the type of provided evidence in a correct way, which would facilitate the process of proof. The Guidebook is primarily targeting prosecutors, but it has been made available also to the criminal law judges and defence attorneys as well.
