In order to be able to take on obligations from the EU membership, countries which are preparing to become the EU member states need to have adequate institutional capacities, which include modern human resource management systems. Further strengthening of institutional capacities at all administrative levels is also important for the Republic of Serbia, especially of its judicial and police structures in order to apply instruments of the Chapter 24, acquiscommunautaire – Justice, Freedom and Security. This paper analyses implementation of measures aimed at professionalization of the Serbian police and strengthening its structural and operational capacities. Authors analyze provisions of the new Law on Police which create conditions for establishing the new civil service system and modern concept of human resource management in police, reorganization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more precise definition of police authorities, measures and acts and introduction of stricter measures for suppression of corruption in the Ministry and strengthening of professional integrity of employees. The implementation of the modern concept of human resource management facilitates protection of the citizens’ rights and freedoms, strengthening of legal security of the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and enhancement of police operation
