Project title: Access to Justice Pertaining to the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue under the EU Negotiation Framework
Project duration: September 2023 – March 2024
Donor: Peaceful Change Initiative (PCI)
Project value: 10,740 EUR

The project “Access to Justice Pertaining to the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue under the EU Negotiation Framework” had the aim to create a comprehensive analysis of the beginning of the implementation of the Annex on the implementation of the Agreement on Normalization between Kosovo and Serbia (Ohrid Agreement), with a focus on the article 1, which refers to the mutual recognition of documents and the potential revision of interim benchmarks for negotiation chapter 35. It is supported by the Peaceful Change Initiative (PCI), which is the manager of the larger project “Serbia-Kosovo: Local voices for development”, supported by of UK Aid.

Since the agreement was not implemented a year after it was agreed, the analysis was adapted to include an overview of the exercise of citizens’ rights before judicial institutions and access to justice in general in the report “Normalization of Relations between Belgrade and Pristina and Access to Jus- tice: Exercising Citizens’ Rights before Judicial Institutions in accordance with Established Agreements and the Issue of Mutual Recognition of Documents” published in April 2024.
