Under result 5, the Joint Project of the European Union and the Council of Europe - iPROCEEDS aims to support existing or to establish public/private initiatives for information sharing and intelligence exchange on cybercrime.

Public/private information sharing is an effective approach in preventing and controlling risks of cybercrime and criminal money flows online.

In this context, iPROCEEDS supported the Cybercrime Units in Brcko Distric and Banja Luka to take the lead and ownership in organising meetings under their auspices for information sharing between the criminal justice authorities and the private sector (financial sector and ISPs).

The objective of these meeting is to raise awareness on potentials risks, provide information on new threats and cyber-criminal activity in the country, as well as finding solutions and working together to prevent and detect cybercrime through establishment of strong partnerships and trust.

The meetings gathered representatives from the Ministry of Interior (High Tech Department) of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Federal Police Administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Prosecutor’s Offices, State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), Banking Agency of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, as well as representatives from the private sector.
