Balkan Regional - Judicial Program

Rule of Law - Combatting International Organized Crime

This program will examine how the U.S. government at the federal and local levels work to secure its borders and combat illicit trafficking of persons, arms, and drugs, with particular emphasis on the global trade of synthetic opioids. Participants will also examine the broad range of policies, such as operational strategies, and federal, state, and local government and private-sector institutions working to combat transnational crime and guarantee the integrity of cross-border commerce and travel. A critical component of this effort is the prosecution of criminal actors through robust legal frameworks and judicial cooperation. Strengthening investigative and prosecutorial capacities is therefore essential to a comprehensive strategy against transnational crime. Candidates will include policy makers, law enforcement, prosecutors, investigators, and border security personnel. This program will have seven participants- one facilitator and two delegates from Serbia, two delegations from Kosovo, and two delegates from North Macedonia.
