The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina recently concluded a specialized training on open-source intelligence (OSINT) in Sarajevo, aimed at enhancing the country’s capacity to combat serious crime. This initiative emphasized the importance of intelligence-led policing (ILP) as a critical approach for law enforcement to anticipate threats, track criminal activity, and respond effectively. Participants included representatives from nine cantonal police administrations and the Federation Police Administration, reflecting a coordinated effort to strengthen policing across the country.
Đorđe Đogović, Project Manager at the OSCE Mission to BiH, highlighted that OSINT is an essential tool for modern law enforcement. It allows authorities to collect, verify, and analyze publicly available information, enhancing decision-making, situational awareness, and proactive crime prevention while ensuring compliance with legal standards and the protection of individual rights.
The training was conducted under the OSCE Mission to BiH’s project, Enhancing Intelligence-led Policing to Combat Serious Security Threats and Crimes (ILP Project). The initiative received generous support from Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, and Türkiye, underscoring the international commitment to strengthening Bosnia and Herzegovina’s security infrastructure.
