Summary/Abstract: The policy paper recommends possible solutions to overcome the current challenges in communication between the police and the media. Media and the police play an important role in the democratization of a society, which is crucial for the Western Balkans, given that the entire region already shows clear elements of “captured state” – systematic and organized process aimed at taking over the resources of a particular country for the purpose of satisfying private instead of public interests. Democratisation requires free and independent media, professional journalism, the willingness of the police to provide the public with objective information about their work without revealing confidential information, and communication between the media andthe police, which provides easier, andensures timely, receipt of information.
