CoE welcomes Hungary's progress in fight against human trafficking

Hungary has made progress in the fight against human trafficking by following recommendations made earlier by the Council of Europe, an expert body of the council has said. Taking the CoE's advice, Hungary has implemented measures to expand professional groups that can officially identify victims of trafficking as well as its comprehensive legal and professional victim support services, the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) said in a fresh report. The report welcomed Hungary 's establishment of new victim support centres which provide psychological assistance and help prepare victims for their role in the criminal proceedings.
