The RS Interior Ministry (MoI) has decided to reorganize its rapid response forces to respond more quickly and efficiently to security challenges, including the migrant crisis. The name of the Support Unit will be changed to the Gendarmerie, and it will be composed of active MoI members.
Given that the establishment of a reserve police force requires a longer period of time and resources in terms of conducting job competition procedures and selection, equipping, providing uniforms and other related equipment, as well as the time for adequate training in order to put the reserve police force in operation, the MoI explains, we withdraw reserve police force related articles from the proposed Law on Amendments to the Law on Police and Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, which is in the procedure at the National Assembly.
