United States Continues Professional Assistance to Serbia's Special Antiterrorist Unit

Two FBI agents arrived in Belgrade on July 10, 2006 to visit SAJ - the Ministry of Interior's Special Antiterrorist Unit.

The visit of the FBI experts was arranged and sponsored by United States Department of Justice office known as the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP); the goal of this U.S. Government assistance initiative is to support the Serbian police efforts to develop and sustain the high-risk intervention and dignitary protection capacities of the SAJ. Their one-week visit will result in a recommendation for specific resource and training assistance.

Another dimension of this American assistance program was celebrated in Batajnica on July 12, 2006, when Ambassador Michael C. Polt and Serbian Minister of Interior Dragan Jocic signed a grant for the ICITAP donation of a command vehicle to the SAJ. The value of the donation is $36,720. Also in attendance at the signing was newly appointed Director of Police for Serbia, Milorad Veljovic. Prior to the signing ceremony, SAJ performed several skill exercises in order to demonstrate some of the special capacities of the Unit.

Sjedinjene Države nastavljaju sa profesionalnom pomoći Specijalnoj Antiterorističkoj Jedinici (SAJ)

Dva FBI agenta stigla su u Beograd 10. jula 2006. god. u posetu SAJ-u - Specijalnoj Antiterorističkoj Jedinici Ministartstva unutrašnjih poslova.

Ovu posetu eksperata iz FBI-a organizovalo je i finansiralo Ministarstvo pravde SAD, kancelarija poznata pod nazivom Medjunarodni kriminalističko-istražni program pomoći u obuci (ICITAP). Pomoć vlade SAD ima za cilj je da podrži napore srpske policije za razvoj i održivost SAJ-ovih kapaciteta za intervencije u visokorizičnim situacijama i zaštite važnih ličnosti. Ova jednonedeljna poseta rezultiraće preporukom za pomoć u vidu resursa i obuke.

Druga dimenzija ovog američkog programa pomoći obeležena je u Batajnici 12. jula 2006. god. kada su ambasador Majkl K. Polt and Ministar Unutrašnjih poslova Dragan Jočić potpisali dokument o ICITAP-ovoj donaciji komandnog vozila SAJ-u. Vrednost ove donacije je 36.720 američkih dolara. Potpisivanju je prisustvovao i novoimenovani direktor policije u Srbiji Milorad Veljović. Pre svečanosti potpisivanja, SAJ je upriličio nekoliko pokaznih vežbi u cilju predstavljanja specijalističkih veština Jedince.
