5. COMBATING TERRORISM AND VIOLENT EXTREMISM LEADING TO TERRORISM The goal of combating terrorism and violent extremism5 leading to terrorism is to reduce the impact of risk factors and the threats of terrorism and extremism and their manifestations. It will be implemented through a broad scope of measures, beginning with the fulfilment of strategic assumptions based on the Strategy for Preventing and Combating Terrorism for the period 2017-2021 together with the Action Plan. In the upcoming period, an internal Action Plan for the Preventing and Combating Terrorism will be drafted. It has been planned to improve the capacity of human resources and operational capacity (by employing new staff and delivering specialist training), and the material and technical capacity (in line with the proposal for enhancing the existing material and technical capacity of the Service for Combating Terrorism and Extremism). As regards the improvement of operational procedures, the Single National Methodology for Post-Terrorist Attack Response is being drafted. Recognising the importance of early detection and prevention of radicalisation, participation in the projects of awareness raising and involvement of the local community and other institutions in these activities have been planned. Finally, one of the priorities is cooperation enhancement through participation in national, regional and international counter-terrorism initiatives. 10 Strategic Police Plan 2018 – 2021 Outcome indicators Identifying the risks and threats of terrorism and extremism and their manifestations 5 Baseline 2018 2019 2020 2021 / Reducing the risks and threats of terrorism and extremism and their manifestations Reducing the risks and threats of terrorism and extremism and their manifestations Reducing the risks and threats of terrorism and extremism and their manifestations Reducing the risks and threats of terrorism and extremism and their manifestations Period of implementation Needed resources Source of financing Implementer of activity 2018 - 2021 Budget of the Republic of Serbia - contribution - RSD -5,500,000 (EUR 45,750); OSCE - EUR 117,241, donation of the USA, EU Commission - Slovenian MoI Regular budget, Budget of the Republic of Serbia, donation of the USA, OSCE funds, EU Commission General Police Directorate Summary of the classified version of the Strategic Police Plan for the period 2018 – 2021
