1. Per reftel instructions, we spoke with Kristina Milosavljevic,
OSCE and COE Department Director in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
about the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention, which Serbia has
signed but not ratified. Milosavljevic noted that the new Serbian
government had a long list of backlogged legislation, and Parliament
had met for only a few days since the government formed. She said
the Cybercrime Convention would be a priority, and she expected the
Parliament would ratify it quickly once it was introduced.
2. Milosavjlevic added that Serbia had been particularly active on
cybercrime issues. For example, the Interior Ministry would be
organizing a cybercrime seminar co-sponsored by the OSCE to take
place later in the fall.
3. Serbia has ratified the UN Convention against Corruption and the
UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and all of its
protocols.
