On the occasion of the completion of the four-year project "Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Serbia" and the launch of a new phase of the Council of Europe's support to the Republic of Serbia through the "Countering Economic Crime in Serbia" project, which is financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Director Dejan Damnjanović thanked the Council of Europe Office in Belgrade and the Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering for their continuous and wholehearted cooperation with the Agency.

"The Council of Europe has always been a reliable partner, providing us not only with resources but also with valuable knowledge, experience, and expertise. The Agency is committed to the fight against corruption and economic crime, and we are ready for close cooperation with the Council of Europe to achieve the goals of the current project through joint efforts," said Damnjanović.

The importance of joint work on the improvement of the legislative framework and the implementation of the best European practices was particularly emphasized.
