Joint Programme

Horizontal Facility

Members and staff of the High Prosecutorial Council of Serbia gathered in Vrdnik for a two-day workshop on internal and external communication and media relations. Building on the first training session held earlier in April, the workshop further supported the strengthening of communication capacities within the Council, with a particular focus on transparent, timely and co-ordinated communication with the public, media and relevant stakeholders.

The participants discussed key aspects of institutional communication, including transparency obligations, communication planning, media relations and the use of various communication tools and channels. Through interactive exercises and practical examples, the workshop also addressed internal communication processes, crisis communication and the preparation of clear and accessible public messages.

The workshop contributed to the ongoing efforts of the High Prosecutorial Council to strengthen transparency, accountability and public confidence in its work, while fostering a more proactive and strategic communication culture within the institution.

This event was organised within the framework of the Action “Strengthening legal culture in Serbia and capacities of the judicial and prosecutorial councils”, part of the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye”, in co-operation with the High Prosecutorial Council.
