"We can confront organised crime only through cooperation," Radoncic said, adding that the three countries had been successfully cooperating for years.
To that end, the three countries decided to set up a regional centre for cooperation and information exchange to be based in Trebinje, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is expected to become operational by year's end.
Radoncic said the three states wished to be reliable partners to the European Union as well as propose cooperation to other states in the region.
The EU clearly sees the Western Balkans as one region, which makes sense, given that organised criminal groups comprise citizens of all countries from the territory of the former Yugoslavia, Dacic said, adding that Bosnia, Serbia, and Montenegro had successfully set up a joint front against those groups.
"Individually, we are small, but together, we have a stronger voice," he said, adding that this was especially important in dealing with false asylum seekers.
Dacic said the reintroduction of visa requirements for Western Balkan countries would undermine their European integration, calling on EU countries to revoke the privileges which attracted false asylum seekers.
Commenting on media allegations linking him and his associates to crime, Dacic said nobody who committed a crime would be protected from prosecution and that he was under media pressure in Serbia. "Whoever is guilty of something will go to jail."
Konjevic said Montenegro was willing to continue with regional police cooperation, and suggested that a regional fire protection centre, to coordinate efforts in the handling of natural disasters, be based in his country.
