The project covered all of the Nordic countries, Baltic States and North-West Russia. Officials and experts went on study trips and learned about the achievements and success stories of authorities in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Estonia in combating trafficking in human beings.
"The study trips broaden the cooperation horizons of law enforcement agencies, give them the chance to learn more about the structure and functioning of internal security in different states, and the main thing is the chance to make new acquaintances," said Andres Väliste, Senior Investigator at the Division of Organised and Serious Crime, Crime Bureau, North Prefecture, Police and Border Guard Board. "Previously, these people were just names on contact lists and voices on the phone, but now they can meet each other face to face. This creates more trust between people and speeds up cross-border information exchange."
The goal of the final conference of the project is to create a joint platform for exchanging information about trafficking in human beings for the Nordic countries, Baltic States and North-West Russia.
