On Monday 8 November 2010 a ceremony took place on the occasion of which some 30 senior civil servants from various Ministries and from the Commissariat for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia received a certificate of capacity in Migration Management. The certificates were handed over by Mr José GOMEZ GOMEZ, Head of operations 2 at the Delegation of the European Union in the Republic of Serbia.

This event concluded a one-year EU-funded project, worth 200.000€, called « Technical Assistance to the Serbian Commissariat for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia in capacity building for Migration Management » which was implemented by the French consultancy company  Ethnos Challenge (Axess Group) in cooperation with the Commissariat for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia.

A dozen of training seminars on the various dimensions of migration (legal migration, illegal migration, asylum, border control, social integration of migrants, cooperation with the countries of origin) were delivered in Belgrade, Niš and Novi Sad. They aimed at developing a common understanding of migration issues for the main actors of migration which were the Ministries of Diaspora, Economy and Regional Development, Foreign Affairs, Human and Minority Rights, Interior, Kosovo and Metohia, Labour and Social Policy and the Commissariat for Refugees of the Republic of Serbia.
 
Under this project, more than 200 pages of documentation on Migration were translated. They will contribute to spread the culture on migration management in the perspective of accession of Serbia to the European Union.
