Greek and Serbian police to launch joint summer patrols in tourist hotspots

·

Greek and Serbian authorities will team up for joint patrols this summer in popular tourist destinations across Greece, officials announced Tuesday according to ekathimerini.com.

According to a statement from Greece’s Citizen Protection Ministry, mixed patrol units will operate in Halkidiki in northern Greece and on the island of Zakynthos in the west—both favored by Serbian holidaymakers. In addition, Greek police officers are set to visit Serbia as part of the cooperation effort.

The announcement came after meetings in Athens between Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chryssohoidis and Serbia’s Interior Minister Ivica Dacic. Their discussions also covered closer collaboration in tackling organized crime, managing migration, and addressing arms trafficking linked to the war in Ukraine.
