The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Mission to Serbia and Montenegro will present the first survey on human trafficking in Serbia on 23 June 2004. A Serbian version of this news release is also available. The report addresses trafficking of women, children and those trafficked for exploitation of labor. It addresses issues of prostitution, illegal migration and labor, begging and vagrancy.  The report also provides official data and data from NGOs as well as information regarding legislation and previous research available on the subject of trafficking. The objective of the survey is to assist law-makers and NGOs in developing a "national strategy to prevent and combat more efficiently the trafficking in human beings."
