Western Balkans

For twenty five years, the AIRE Centre has built a strong reputation for expertise in the Western Balkans where it has been conducting a series of long-term rule of law programmes in partnership with domestic institutions and courts. The AIRE Centre’s Western Balkans Rule of Law Programme (AIRE Centre WB Programme) now works in close cooperation with ministries of justice, judicial training institutes, courts, and prosecutors to lead, support and assist long term rule of law reform and anti-corruption projects. The AIRE Centre WB Programme also cooperates with the NGO sector across the region to help foster legal reform and respect for fundamental rights. The Programme works to promote and facilitate the proper implementation of international legal and human rights instruments, assist the process of European integration by strengthening the rule of law, and encourage cooperation amongst judges and legal professionals across the region.
