Training of police officers to deal with persons deprived of liberty while observing their human rights received a new boost at the Steering Committee meeting of the joint EU/Council of Europe Action in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the same time, prisons are expected to host expert assessment visit to assess the need for introduction of information technologies in daily management of prisoners.

The Steering Committee of the Horizontal Facility for Western Balkans and Turkey Action in BiH ˝Enhancing human rights protection for detained and sentenced persons˝ also discussed on 18 June in Sarajevo the impact of the training material produced within the scope of this Action in increasing knowledge and skills of prison staff to provide treatment and health care to detainees and prisoners in line with the European standards.
