​On September 10, 2021, the 28th CEPA Main Course 2020 was concluded in Budapest at the Center for International Training during a graduation ceremony with the awarding of certificates.

This course started on February 17, 2020 in Prague. This CEPA advanced training was interrupted after four weeks on March 13, 2020 in Ljubljana, due to the ongoing spread of coronavirus in the member countries of the Central European Police Academy. The final week of this course was now held in Budapest in the period from 05 to 10 September 2021.

Police practitioners coming from the seven CEPA member countries had the opportunity to participate in this MEPA advanced training at five locations - Prague (CZ), Schmitten (D), Biel (CH), Ljubljana (SLO) and Budapest (H). 

The focus of this advanced training was to teach and deepen investigative and combat strategies in the field of cross-border / international criminal police cooperation.  

During the course, the participants worked on the workshop on the main topic "Economic crime exploiting the Internet / money laundering". The results of the workshop were elaborated in writing.

The written results of the workshop will be made available to all investigators in CEPA countries, which will allow those police officers who did not participate in the course to benefit from the results. In addition, the results will be available for download in the Insider on the CEPA homepage.

Mr. Univ. Dipl.lu r. Vladimir Pocek, Liaison Officer from Slovenia in Vienna, mentioned the importance of CEPA in international police cooperation during the keynote speech.

Within the framework of the closing ceremony, the meeting of the course leaders of the CEPA countries was also held. Besides evaluating the results of the current main course, the experts and representatives of CEPA defined the first concrete tasks of the next CEPA course in 2022.
