01 empty lionsOn 6-7 October in Zagreb, Croatia was held a regional seminar on Identification of Victims of Human Trafficking in South-Eastern Europe as a part of the 2011 cycle of regional conferenceson "Justice and Human Rights in South-Eastern Europe".

This regional meeting aims to clearly formulate the problem of identification andof the recognition of the victim status of exploited persons in order to:

- Prevent exploitation by taking anticipatory and preventive actions targeting risk groups in the countries of origin, such as schools, street children, job seekers, and so on.

- Combat offences through necessary cooperation between the different actors involved (including NGOs), effective implementation of national legislations, and the training of police forces and judges.

- Protect and assist victims through the introduction of appropriate assistance measures (notably regarding duration of care for victims), cooperation with NGOs, and multi-sectoral identification (not carried out by police forces alone).

- Ensure the recognition of the victim status during criminal proceedings: including through the training of judges and payment of compensation.

The National Commission for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings /NCCTHB/ rpresented Bulgarian experts in the person of Mrs. Antoaneta Vassileva, Secretary General of NCCTHB.
