Strengthening Regional Academic Cooperation: Visit of the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy from Skopje to the Faculty of Crime Investigation, Criminology, and Security Studies at UNSA
In a working visit to the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Crime Investigation, Criminology, and Security Studies, last week the Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy at the “Ss. Cyril and Methodius” University in Skopje, Prof. Dr. Oliver Bakreski, was hosted. During his visit, on Friday, 9 May 2025, a meeting was held with Dean Prof. Dr. Jasmin Ahić and colleagues to discuss numerous ongoing joint activities. The focus was on international student exchanges, specifically on the participation of students from the Institute for Security, Defense, and Peace of the Faculty of Philosophy in the upcoming Summer School titled “OSINT and Political Violence,” organized from 12-15 June 2025, by the Faculty of Crime Investigation, Criminology, and Security Studies in partnership with the Atlantic Initiative. Additionally, there was discussion about the study visit of doctoral students from the Institute to our faculty during 19-23 May 2025. The meeting also covered the partnership in organizing the upcoming International Scientific Conference “Crimen, Forensic, Securitas - CFS 2025,” which will be held on 2-3 October 2025, as part of the 21st Days of Criminological Sciences, as well as the forthcoming celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Institute for Security, Defense, and Peace.
The importance of modernizing joint second-cycle study programs of our institutions, “Crisis Management in the Security Sector” and “Corporate Security and Protection,” was particularly emphasized to improve the teaching process.
Numerous joint activities once again confirm the exceptional international cooperation that our faculties have been continuously developing for years, positioning the Faculty of Philosophy at the University “Ss. Cyril and Methodius” and colleagues from North Macedonia as significant partners of the Faculty for Crime Investigation, Criminology, and Security Studies.
