Serbian IM Ivica Dacic said the meeting yesterday was useful, and called for similar gatherings on higher levels. He also urged regional police forces to engage in a more intensive cooperation, that would include faster exchange of information. His Croatian counterpart Tomislav Karamarko said he believed Milovanovic would be arrested, and added the Pukanic murder showed that organized crime is not limited by state boundaries, and that many arguments speak in favor of there being a unified mafia regionally. One of the items in the declaration signed by the ministers is related to constant communication of the high officials from the regional MUPs, who will organize similar meetings twice a year. In its report from Sarajevo Tanjug quoted Dacic as saying that the ministers agreed to launch a joint appeal to the European Union to "as soon as possible" liberalize the visa regimes for the countries of the western Balkans.
