Minister added that the Republic of Srpska Ministry of the Interior had been implementing activities whose aim was preventing juvenile delinquency for several years. These activities showed very good results since juvenile delinquency was reduced by 25% compared to the previous year.         Minister Lukač invited all institutions to contact the Republic of Srpska Ministry of the Interior in order to check certain person, e.g. in case they see a suspicious person near school or they are about to employ a person to work with children.        The Republic of Srpska Ministry of the Interior is continuously implementing the Curriculum of preventive activities for the purpose of preventing juvenile delinquency in the second semester as well, both in primary and secondary schools in the Republic of Srpska.
