Europeanisation of judicial culture in the Western Balkans

Join us for the presentation of the findings of the “Bridging the gap between formal processes and informal practices that shape judicial culture in the Western Balkans” MATRA Project. At this event we discuss the findings of research that combine an academic and practical approach to identifying the main shortcomings of judicial culture in three target countries in the region, namely, Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia. The project aims to complement the European Commission’s process of judicial Europeanisation and is a collaboration between the Institute for Democracy (IDSCS), Albanian Legal and Territorial Research Institute (ALTRI), Judicial Research Centre (CEPRIS)and the Asser Institute.
