This publication offers the Key Issues and Policy Recommendations based on the results of the
Third International Conference “Governance and Reform of State Security Services: Best Practices”.
Conference Three – the third in a series of eight – focused exclusively on the SSU reform process;
aiming to unpack the issues raised during the first two events: the SSU’s military status, pre-trial investigation powers and its oversight and accountability. Building on the findings and recommenda-
tions of the previous conferences, this Conference aimed to identify current reform priorities, discuss relevant European good practices and assess capacity development needs for intelligence governance
