The event, organized by the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) Secretariat and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), is part of a series of regional workshops aiming at disseminating the principles of the Guidebook on Democratic Policing, produced by the OSCE Strategic Police Matters Unit, with the participation of police experts from the entire OSCE region.

The broad objective of the workshop, which is to be achieved through expert discussions and the exchange of experiences, is to identify concrete steps to apply the good law enforcement practices, referred to in the Guidebook on Democratic Policing, into daily police work.
