Jovana Marović, research Coordinator at Institute Alternative, participated in the second seminar within the framework of the project “Thinking for Governance”, held in Bratislava on March 20-21, 2014. The project aims to exchange experiences between the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary) and civil society organizations from the Western Balkans on the role of these organizations in the negotiation process under Chapters 23 and 24. Non-governmental organizations and think-tanks from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia are working together on a publication that will provide recommendations for the improvement of judicial reform, fight against corruption, protection of human rights, as well as cooperation between civil society and government authorities in these countries. Key lessons learned in the process of European integrations of these countries thus far will be presented at the final seminar in Belgrade. Institute Alternative, along with Center for Democracy and Human Rights (CEDEM) and Center for Monitoring and Research (CeMI), represents Montenegro in this project.
