‘Balkan Insight’ reports that police officers have been assigned to watch over primary and secondary schools in Macedonia in an effort to curb an upswing in violent knife-crime among children. The project “Police Officers and Students Spending Time”, supported by OSCE, to be launched this September envisages that more than 500 schools will have their own specially appointed officers that will try to gain the trust of students and their parents. “This should enable students, their parents and school staff to know whom they should turn to for help in any moment” said the Police Minister, Gordana Jankulovska.
