To further the adherence to the rule of law in Serbia, the Mission assists the authorities in their efforts to reform the judiciary and the prison system. It organizes training seminars for judges, prosecutors, defence lawyers and police officers on criminal justice matters, and helps anti-corruption institutions improve their public accountability mechanisms. The Mission also works with human rights institutions on anti-torture initiatives, and trains officials and civil society on how to better prevent, detect, and prosecute financial crimes.
