Valuable Exchange of Experience between IMM and Frontex FRO

In the 1st half of April 2025, IMM’s monitors met with a Frontex Fundamental Rights Monitor and Frontex Officers during their respective monitoring mission in the field. The utmost valuable exchange of experience with practical insights into each other’s monitoring mandates and methodologies took place at the border crossing point Tovarnik. Said cooperation is the continuance of previously conducted joint IMM-Frontex FRO monitoring operations, the last one dating back to September 2023. The IMM monitors also had a chance to exchange with the Frontex Officers on duty on their mandate and their role in the protection of fundamental rights. After the exchange meeting, IMM’s monitors continued their monitoring mission by conducting an unannounced monitoring of the Tovarnik transit detention centre.
