Our Academy continues educational activities in a wide range of geography from Europe to Asia and African countries, as well as from the Turkic world to Islamic countries. As one of these activities, our Academy will organize an International Training Program on Human Rights Law between 1-6 December for our guest judges and prosecutors from Kosovo. I wish every success to the Program in advance”.
