Ivica Dacic says Serbia has strong security and police "which are able to detect drug trafficking not only in the country but elsewhere in the world".

"Serbia successfully fights drug trafficking" He said that least inter-ethnic conflicts were recorded this year since 2004, and that in the fight against corruption, the police filed more criminal charges this year than in the previous five years combined. Dacic said that perhaps the greatest success of the police this year was that it was among the three institutions in the country in which citizens have the highest confidence, together with the church and the army. Dacic added that endeavors should continue in the future to improve the status of police officers and their financial position. Ivica Dacic (file) Tanjug
