On 16 June 2026, the SELEC Council, the organization’s highest decision-making body, held its 26th Council Meeting, adopting a number of important decisions aimed at supporting SELEC’s continued development and effectiveness.
During the meeting, the Council approved the 2025 Annual Report, the budget package, and the annual Action and Working Plan. Several amendments to SELEC’s internal rules and regulations, further strengthening the organization’s operational framework, were also adopted.
Enhancing cooperation with international partners remains a strategic priority for SELEC. In this regard, the Council positively assessed the application of the French Republic to become an Operational Partner and endorsed the intention to conclude a Memorandum of Understanding with GCCPOL.
The Council also addressed the election of the Director General and confirmed that the current Director General, Dr. Oguz Serkant AKIN, will continue to exercise his mandate until successful completion of the election procedure.
The meeting once again reaffirmed the commitment of the SELEC Member States to effective governance of the organization and to strengthening regional and international cooperation in combating transborder crime.
