Six southeastern European countries on Thursday signed a protocol in the fight against money laundering and terror funding in the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica.
The document, which is a part of a second regional conference, was signed by heads of financial-intelligence services from Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Albania, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, said reports reaching here from Podgorica.
The protocol reads that signatory countries and their services have made headway in adjusting national legal frameworks, but that it is necessary to make further progress and set aside additional budgetary funds.
Participants said after the signing the best way to combat organized crime was to sever funding routes and seize unlawfully acquired property.
They also agreed to meet at least once a year and that the next meeting will be held in the Bosnia-Herzegovina's capital Sarajevo.
