barriers, requires close cooperation of the EU and NATO Member States and international
cooperation with third countries, for the purpose of timely identification of every new form or
threat, as well as their source, and in order for the response to a certain threat to follow as
quickly as possible. It is therefore necessary to use the available possibilities of the existing
cooperation models through contact points and the possibilities of swift information sharing
through the channels of Europol, Eurojust and other international organisations.
Objective E.3 Good inter-institutional cooperation for efficient information exchange at
national level, especially in case of computer security incident.
A computer security incident requires quick and adequate treatment. It is necessary to
establish high quality coordination of all the bodies that can contribute in a particular case.
The existence of permanent “contact points” would contribute to direct and effective
communication and thus also to the prevention and more efficient treatment of the incident.
Objective E.4 Strengthening human resources, adequate development of relevant state
bodies’ competences and technical capabilities for discovering, conducting criminal
investigation and prosecuting criminal cases in cybercrime domain, along with securing the
necessary funding.
The development of electronic communication infrastructure and introduction of new
innovative services is accompanied by the emergence of new, increasingly sophisticated ways
of committing criminal offences in cybercrime domain. These processes require continued
strengthening of human resources, appropriate upgrading of forensic tools and systems, and
systems for secret surveillance of electronic communication networks and services.
Objective E.5 Encouragement and constant development of cooperation with economic
sector.
Encouragement and constant development of cooperation with the economic sector
(especially with the national regulatory authorities and legal entities in the public electronic
communications sector and the sector of electronic financial services), as well as information
sharing about all the new computer security incidents that have been registered, to enable the
economic sector to recognise a potential incident that could constitute a criminal offence and
update its own security system in a timely manner, and to enable the state administration
bodies to promptly react to a possible criminal offence. Additionally, good cooperation with
the economic sector should be used to stimulate communication aimed at educating the end
users of certain services, thus directly contributing to the prevention of a particular
cybercrime occurrence.
