PRAGUE (Sputnik) – Police officials from 56 countries and representatives of 20 international organizations have gathered in the Czech capital to take part in the 44th INTERPOL European Regional Conference that launched Wednesday, Interpol said in a press release.

The main issues on the agenda of the conference are border security, fight against international terrorism, cyber crimes and interstate police cooperation, the organization said.

“This conference is an opportunity for police throughout Europe to conduct meaningful discussions and deepen cooperation on measures to combat crime, terrorism and the criminals involved in the ongoing migration crisis,” Czech Police Chief Maj. Gen. Tomas Tuhy said, as quoted in the press release.

The conference participants will look to adopt a set of measures to increase global information exchange on terrorism, extend the use of Interpol’s policing capabilities to critical border points, and develop efforts to combat drug trafficking and the criminal networks involved, the press release said.
