He informed DPM Marković about all the activities that were conducted over the first six-month period, primarily the activities towards boosting quality of statistics in the judiciary, strengthening of capacity of the Judicial Training Centre, strengthening of the administrative, technical and operational capacity of the Police Authority, the Administration for Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing Terrorism, and the Property Administration.
