The OSCE Mission and the Embassy of France in Skopje are organizing a course for police trainers on the correct use of police batons, starting on 13 May 2013.
During the course, two experts from the French national police will instruct sixteen police trainers from the Interior Ministry who will afterwards teach the same method to other police officers.
Old police batons are expected to be exchanged for more specialized ones in the near future.
