Background information 1. 1. Brief risk assessment The JO Coordination Points 2014 represents a continuation of the operational activities implemented within the Project Coordination Points 2013 and it was implemented with the aim of establishing a system for collecting and exchanging information between third countries, EU member states and Frontex, which enables the early detection of irregular migration flows that might have an effect upon the EU / SAC external borders. In this regard, operational activities were implemented !a LI:_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __                                                  Commented [Al]: The blanked out parts contain detailed information regarding the operational area. Its disclosure would expose law enforcement officials' patrolling the area and harm the course of future and ongoing operations in the same area, and thus facilitate irregular migration. Therefore, public security will be affected. In light of the above, the text is not disclosed pursuant to the exception laid down in the first indent of Article 4(1 )(a) of Regulation No 1049/ 2001 relating to the protection of the public interest as regards public security. At the Albanian-Montenegrin border during the period under review, 23 persons were reported within the operational area of the JO Coordination Points 2014 in 18 incidents. Most of these persons were linked to refusal of entry incidents (13 incidents/ 15 persons). The number of incidents related to irregular migration was very low (i.e. one illegal border-crossing incident involving the apprehension of two Syrian migrants); in addition , the number of cross-border crime related incidents was also very low (i.e. one smuggling of goods incident and one stolen vehicle incident). At the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonian-Serbian border during the reporting period, 583 persons were reported 1111111■ in 276 incidents. Nearly 78% of these persons were linked to refusal of entry incidents (456 persons), followed by persons reported for overstay (31 persons) and persons reported fo r falsification of documents (22 persons). Serbi an nat ionals were chiefly reported fo r refusal of entry and overst ay, while the incidents relat ed t o the falsification of documents were primarily linked to nationals f rom Syri a, Kosovo' and Albania. Nearly 60% of the migrants apprehended within the operational area of the JO Coordination Points 2014, were reported       lll1llll1l1II               and the main nationalities of the apprehended migrants were Albanian, Syri an and Turkish. Additionally, 14 persons were arrest ed for being involved in smuggling activities and 3 st olen vehicles were detected. At the Moldovan-Ukrainian and Ukrainian-Moldovan border , a tot al of 105 incidents involving the det ection of 189 persons were reported within the operational area of the JO Coordin ation Points 201 5. The highest number of incidents was reported from the                                                                                             I Most persons were reported fo r overstaying (75 incidents). In addition, 54 incidents relat ed to persons being refu sed entry while 52 incidents relat ed t o other types of incidents. The main nat ionalities of the detect ed persons were Moldovan (101) and Russian (54). The number of illegal border -crossings record ed at this bord er section was ve7 low (6 Moldovans and 1 Russian) and all irregular migrants were apprehended within the 111111■                                    11111111■- During the reportin g period , 23 irregular migrants were apprehended and 4 facilitat ors were arrested within the operational area of the JO Coordination Points 2014. The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonian- Serbian border ranked first in terms of migrant apprehensions, followed by the Moldovan-Ukrainian border and the Albanian-Montenegrin border. The main nationalities of the apprehended migrants were Albanian (6), Moldovan (6) and Syrian (6). 1 This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244 and the /CJ Opin ion on the Kosovo declaration of independence. 4/21

Operational aim The operational aim of the Joint Operation Coordination Points was to establish a system for the exchange of information related early detection of recent, actual and future illegal migration trends towards the EU through the territory of the third country . Furthermore, the establishment and exchange of common best practices improved practical cooperation between the competent authorities involved in controlling of irregular migration flows and to tackle other cross-border crime. 1.3. Period of implementation and operational areas The joint operation was implemented during the period 08 April - 16 December 2014. The deployment periods and operational areas were as follow : 1/ Land border between the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Serbia: Commencement                 8 April 2014 Termination                   16 December 2014 2/ Land border between Moldova and Ukraine: Commencement                 1 July 2014 Termination                   31 July 2014 3/ Land border between Albania and Montenegro: Commencement                 8 Jui 2014 Termin ation                  2 September 201 4 1.4.

Achievement of objectives Enhance border security / Enhance efficiency of border security The objective has been achieved. During the implementation of the joint operation a significant number of document and stolen vehicle experts from twelve Member States have been deployed as Observers to Third Countries, namely to Albania, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova and Ukraine. They were used in most efficient way supporting the Third Countries national authorities in performing border -; checks at selected BCPs. During the implementation period of the JO Coordination Points 2014, a total of': 23 irregular migrants were apprehended: 13 persons were detected at the                                for abuse of travel documents; 11 persons were involved in t he smuggling of goods; 4 stolen vehicles were detected                                                            (1)). The deployment of document experts and stolen vehicle experts at the BCPs where the joint operation was implemented , proved to be very beneficial not only in strengthening the border control system at the BCPs by supporting the local authorities with specialised staff, but also in enhancing the exchange of expertise between the deployed EU experts and the local officers, which further enriched the knowledge of both parties (local officers and EU experts). Enhance exchange of information / Enhance efficiency of the exchange of information The objective has been partially achieved. The insertion of data into JORA system was in many cases in timely fashion and accurate, but there were also cases when the exchange of information was unsatisfactory because of the delays in the incident reporting and/or because of the unproper filling up of information to JORA Template. Identify possible risks and threats The objective has been partially achieved. The data collected during the operational period was primarily quantitative and consisted mainly in statistical data reported t hrough JORA. The lack of debriefing experts deployed within the operationa l area, as well as due to lack of intelligence officers appointed by the host member states hindered t he data collection process and limited access to information regarding routes and modi operandi used by irregular migrants to reach the EU. Focused on media monitoring, as well as communication with the Local Coordinators and t he EU experts deployed in the area, were employed to fill the intelligence gaps regarding irregular migratory flows affecting the operational area, but the resultant information remained limited . 3.       Link to other Frontex activities and best practices JO Focal Points 2014 Land The EU experts deployed in the area were acting as a contact persons for t he Guest Officers deployed in other Frontex coordinated operations as well as for the hosting third countries authorities. The support given from Joint Operation Focal Points 2014 Land was highly appreciated and proved to be a useful tool in case of information exchange. High level of cooperation and exchange of information between involved partners were expressed by all stakeholders concerned. Useful practical link between local coordinators was initiated during the common local coordinators meeting, which was held in Warsaw on June 2014 . Local coordinators of JO Focal Points Land and JO 2 Only the operational results linked to irregular migration and cross-border crime were included here 6/21

Assessment of joint operational activities 4. 1. Supporting Response 4. 1 . 1.  Operational concept Assessment of implementation of the operational concept in accordance to Operational Plan According to the Operational plan, activities during the JO Coordination points 2014 should enhance the operational cooperation between Member States and Third Countries involved. In order to facilitate operational cooperation, Frontex ensured coordination of actions implemented by Third Countries. Activities implemented wi thin the framework of the operation promoted European border management standards and facilitated exchange of experiences and expertise in Integrated Border Management. Coordination Points were established at the Border Crossing Points between Third Countries and deployed EU experts acted as observers at Coordination Points. EU experts were also acting as contact persons, both for guest officers deployed in other Frontex coordinated operations and their national authorities as well as for the involved Third countries law enforcement agencies. Based on request formulated by the local authorities, EU experts provided practical field training to staff concerned. Based on the above mentioned and the operational results gained during the implementation of the joint operation , the number of incidents involving the deployed EU experts, it is justified to consider that operational concept was implemented according to the operational plan. 4. 1. 2.   Operational results The JO Coordination Points 2014 was implemented during the period of 8 Apri l - 16 December 2014 with t he aim of establishing a system for the exchange of information related to the early detection of illegal migration flows towards the EU th rough the territories of third countri es. Furthermore, the est ablishment and exchange of best practices should improve practical cooperation between the competent authorities involved in tackling of illegal migration and other cross-border crime. The collection of operational information from all participants and sources involved shou ld have support risk assessments that underpinned operational activities, thus contributing to the implementation of the Integrated Border Management standards in ord er to benefit all st akeholders. During the implementation of the JO Coordination Points 2014, the following operational results were reported: 15 illegal border-crossing incidents occurred involving the apprehension of 19 irregular migrants 2 facilitation incidents occurred involving the apprehension of 4 irregular migrants and the arrest of 4 facilitators 15 falsification incidents occurred involving the detection of 22 irregular migrants 74 other incidents occurred involving the detection of 22 persons 53 overstay incidents occurred involving the detection of 106 persons (overstayers) 1 prevention of departure incident occurred involving the detection of 5 persons 8 readmission incidents occurred involving the readmission of 12 persons 215 refusal of entry incidents occurred involving 525 persons 12 smuggling of good incidents occurred involving the apprehension/arrest of 17 persons 4 stolen vehicle incidents occurred involving the apprehension of 4 persons 7/21

Operational coordination structures Due the specific character of the activity (similar to JO Focal Points Land), JO Coordination points 2014 did not have an operational structure similar to other land border operations. ICC or LCCs were not established within the joint operation, neither deployment of Frontex Operational Coordinators at the operational area. Command and control of the EU experts remained with the competent national authority of the host TC. Communication flow of the operational activity followed the standard practise and was channelled directly from CP to FSC. The Local coordinators from respective CPs were responsible of daily based JORA reporting. Furthermore, communication , information and reporting flow at Frontex level were channelled via the FSC which was a practical solution in order to facilitate uniform, permanent and interlinked communication for all actors involved . 4. 1.4.    Resources deployed According to the operational plan, activities implemented during the joint operation were focused on border checks . The deployment of EU experts at the operational area was firstly meant to support third countries authorities in performing border checks in general. However, as in all Frontex coordinated activities, the EU experts assisted local staff not only in the verification of travel documents, but also in the verification of other documents of individuals, vehicles or other entities. Based on the request formulated by the local authorities, EU experts provided practical field training to staff host authority staff members concerned. The EU experts deployed within the joint operation were experienced professionals. They had the skills and capacity needed to perform their duties according to the requirements of EBGT profiles (Advanced Level document experts and Stolen Vehicle Experts) and provisions of the operational plan . The added value of implementation of the j oint operation was that most of the EU experts had already parti cipated on Frontex operational activities several times. Russian language skills should be highlighted as an added value especially at the operational area of Moldova and Ukraine. Deployed EU experts with the Ru ssian language skills were highly appreciat ed by the hosting authoriti es and enhanced the effecti veness of the Frontex presence. 4.2.
