RAI Secretariat organized for a third consecutive year the Summer School for Junior Magistrates from South – Eastern Europe, which took place in Kotor, Montenegro, on June 9 – 15, 2008. The event was co-organized with the Directorate for Anti-corruption Initiative of Montenegro.

It was proved again that the Summer School was useful annual forum, where young judges and prosecutors from the region meet with the idea to establish a comprehensive network of perspective, and to benefit from the knowledge and experience of honorable lecturers from relevant national anti-corruption bodies, international organizations and civil society.

  3. EU experience regarding the international judicial cooperation in criminal matters stressing on the activity of structures like OLAF, EUROPOL, INTERPOL and EUROJUST.
  4. Reform of the judiciary and anti-corruption, as challenges of the EU accession process.
