Among the main objectives of the visit, RAI also used the opportunity to:

1. Present the International Instrument on data exchange on Asset Disclosure and Conflict of Interest promoted at Trieste Western Balkan Summit on 12.07.2017;
2. Promote upcoming RAI Regional Event on Integrity in Law Enforcement;
3. Ensure RAI Secretariat continued involvement in IISG Structure;
4. Reaffirm intentions to involve Slovenia as a Partner in RAI activities.

17th PCC SEE Committee of Ministers Meeting

Considering that RAI is committed to engaging in the reform and accession processes in the field of anti-corruption both at the regional level (South East Europe) and at the sub-regional level, the participation at the events and meetings presents grounds to confirm the active role taken in the regional processes, as well the occasion to be recognized as a stakeholder.
