Summary/Abstract: The Ministry of Interior of Serbia is the principal body for the implementation of the National Strategy for the Prevention and Countering of Terrorism, but also stands out as an actor of exceptional importance in the fight against violent extremism and terrorism. The General Police Directorate is located in Belgrade and consists of 15 organizational units, almost each of which has numerous units, operational centers, centers for analysis and/or risk assessment, various specialized centers, etc. In addition, the Police Directorate has 27 regional organizational units outside its headquarters, which, to a much lesser extent, also have an extensive network of departments. The Criminal Police Directorate has a particularly important role in the fight against violent extremism and terrorism, and it includes the Department for the Fight against Corruption, the Service for the Fight against Organized Crime (SBPOK) and the Service for the Fight against Drugs, as well as the Service for the Fight against Terrorism and Extremism, whose work is organized in two special departments – for the fight against terrorism and for the fight against extremism, as well as four field departments (in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Novi Pazar).
