About this Talk

Join us for the launch of our upcoming report titled: ‘Integrity and Independence of Criminal Justice Institutions in the Western Balkans: Police and Prosecution.’ This webinar will delve into the core challenges these institutions face, such as political interference, compromised independence, and corruption, which undermine their ability to operate with integrity. Through the lens of the report’s findings, we will explore the systemic issues that contribute to hindering the effective functioning of the police and prosecution, analyze how these obstacles impact the overall justice system, and discuss both regional and national recommendations for promoting greater institutional independence and accountability.
