  "text": "The project aims at supporting the collection of any weapon, explosive device, ordnance and associated ammunition, including through the legalisation of weapons in civilian possession through their registration.\nThe awareness-raising actions will be coordinated by committees consisting of specialists of the Ministries of Interior and UNDP/SEESAC, joined by relevant other PR experts where necessary, in order to properly disseminate details about the legalisation and voluntary surrender of illegal firearms. The campaigns will focus on local dissemination channels that are able to reach the local level most effectively. Local information dissemination will be reinforced at the national level through reporting, interviews, and documentaries. Information on the campaigns will be provided through electronic and written media. The campaign messages will be positive and show law implementation in practice.\nThe project will enhance security across the Western Balkans by taking dangerous weapons off the streets through a two-way communication between the public and the police. In particular, the project will reach all age-groups in possession of illegal weapons and all those who intend to acquire weapons.",
