This was said by the rector of UCG Prof. Dr. Vladimir Božović at a meeting with Cedric Grousset, advisor for this Cyber ​​Balkan project of the French Center for Security Expertise in Southeast Europe, initiated by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Grousset pointed out that the synergy of all stakeholders and the identification of the needs of the police, judiciary, prosecutor's office, and consideration of potential partners in education is necessary. Education in this field should provide answers to numerous problems, shortcomings and continuously strengthen human potential in response to cybercrime.
