Kopaonik School of Natural Law (Universitas Iuris Naturalis Copaonici) was established 32 years ago. Every year since then, it has been the place of meetings of eminent jurists, legal scholars as well as practicing lawyers from across the world. In the last two years ago, the European Union and the Council of Europe provided support to this prestigious conference of legal experts, under the joint programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye“.

This year, Horizontal Facility action "Strengthening accountability of the judicial system and enhancing protection of victims' rights in Montenegro" facilitated participation of the judges of the Administrative Court of Montenegro in working sections on Protection of Freedom Under the Administrative Law.  On that occasion, the president of the Court presented the expert paper on Challenges of Administrative Judiciary in Montenegro, including with respect to much needed alignment of the domestic court practice with the standards and case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. 

Thanks to the European Union and Council of Europe support, Court's representatives were given the opportunity to better present the work of the Court related to the protection of human rights and freedoms, and to benefit from peer-to-peer experience-sharing and networking to improve the effectiveness and quality of the administrative justice in Montenegro.
