During his working visit to the German Federal Police, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, Aleksandar Janev, held a bilateral meeting with its President, Dr. Dieter Romann.
The meeting addressed current security challenges and opportunities for deepening cooperation in tackling illegal migration, terrorism, migrant smuggling, organised crime and illicit drug trafficking, with particular emphasis on the timely exchange of information and joint operational activities.
Special attention was paid to strengthening the capacities of the Macedonian police, particularly the Border Police, through specialised training, exchange of experience and modern technical solutions. The possibilities for introducing electronic gates (E-gates), implementing EU border control systems, as well as improving joint investigation teams and operational working groups were also discussed.
Director Janev expressed his gratitude for the continued support provided by the German Government in modernising the Macedonian police through donations of vehicles, equipment, technical resources and specialised training.
The discussions also highlighted the importance of investing in human resources, knowledge and the professional integrity of police officers, with the reopening of the Secondary Police School emphasised as a strategic investment in the future of the Macedonian police.
The meeting reaffirmed the shared commitment to further strengthening the partnership, exchanging information and coordinating activities in addressing transnational security threats.
North Macedonia is a reliable and active partner in European security cooperation, and through its partnership with Germany, it continues to strengthen its capacities and contribute to greater security for its citizens and a safer Europe.
