The OSCE Mission to Serbia requires the services of one international expert to define the methodology for developing an Individual Assessment Tool (IAT) for victim support provider institutions, as well as to provide possible draft solution(s) for such a Tool applicable to the Serbian system.
As envisaged by the project “Support for Victims and Witnesses of Crime in Serbia”, a methodology needs to be developed for a unified IAT, which could be incorporated in the work of all victim support service providers. This will ensure that victims receive a timely and individual assessment, in accordance with national procedures by identifying specific protection needs and determination whether and to what extent victims would benefit from special measures in the course of criminal proceedings due to their particular vulnerability to secondary and repeated victimization, to intimidation and to retaliation.
