Joint Programme

Horizontal Facility

Representatives of judicial training institutions and the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered in Sarajevo for a two days workshop to increase efficiency and quality of judicial training programmes in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This workshop follows an in-depth analysis of the judicial training system in Bosnia and Herzegovina, conducted earlier this year by the CEPEJ. The workshop aimed to discuss and exchange with beneficiaries the assessment of training needs as well as the development and implementation of future training programmes in the field of justice. Participants have also identified ways to sustainably incorporate CEPEJ topics related to the efficiency and quality of justice into judicial training programmes in BiH.

Discussions explored practical ways to strengthen inter-institutional co-ordination and quality assurance within the judicial training system, including approaches to address recommendations from the EC Progress Report. The event concluded with reflections on the way forward and on areas where CEPEJ could continue to provide support.

This activity was organised by the BiHSEJ action “Strengthening the Efficiency and Quality of Justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiHSEJ)” in the framework of the European Union/Council of Europe joint programme Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye (Horizontal Facility III), co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe.
