The State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) Danilo Stevandić said today that the Amber Alert early warning system in case of missing children will be introduced in Serbia by the beginning of November at the latest.
At the conference "Early warning system in cases of missing children in Serbia: Assessment of the situation and opportunities", which was organized by the "Astra" association, Stevandić said that the introduction of the Amber alert system confirmed the commitment of the Ministry of Interior to find ways to be more efficient and faster in finding missing children.
He reminded her that in February, the Team for the introduction of the Amber alert system was formed, consisting of representatives of several relevant ministries, the Center for Missing and Abused Children and the "Astra" association.
The task of the team, as he pointed out, is to consider comparative-legal solutions and find the best practices, so that the Amber Alert system, which would be adapted to our legal system and society, would come to life in our country.
He indicated that two team meetings were held so far, where the activity plan was determined, the analysis of the initial situation, the solutions of comparative legislation and practice, and the definition of the criteria for activating the Amber alert system were discussed.
Stevandić emphasized that it is extremely important for the MUP to build partnership relations with civil society organizations and all interested entities in the community and conduct an open dialogue on all topics of importance for the safety of individuals and society as a whole.
