On the basis of the Decision byCouncil of Ministers from 2003, the function of State Coordinator was established as well asthe structure for coordination of activities for combating trafficking in human beings.Realisation of programme goals from the first action plan, such as establishment of uniformedstate border service, legislation reform on both state and entity levels, as well as activitiestowards capacity building of relevant professional staff and awareness raising of generalpublic about this problem has led to progress in combating trafficking in human beings,suppression of number of illegal immigration and first results of investigations andsanctioning of traffickers.Considering progress made and taking into account that majority of measures and activitiesenvisaged by the previous Action plan have been realised, new State Action Plan forCombating Trafficking in Human Beings for 2005-2007definesnew goals for combating trafficking in human beings for the next three years and developsnew programme document with operational content for combating trafficking in humanbeings for 2005 (and each year thereafter in this period).
