Second Workshop on Mutual legal assistance in criminal matters and extradition

EU4Justice project, in cooperation with CEST FBiH and CEST RS, is organising a second online training for judges and prosecutors “Mutual legal assistance in criminal matters and extradition” (MLA).

Mutual legal assistance in criminal matters is a process, generally governed by treaty or authorized by domestic law, by which countries seek and provide information that may be used as evidence in criminal cases. In a world where everything is accelerating and where criminals are building increasingly trans and international networks, legal international cooperation has become more and more key to addressing these challenges.

The goal of the workshop which will be held on June 21st from 09:30-12:30h via Zoom platform is to raise awareness of various procedural pathways, legal bases and practice between Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries with distinguished information about the Republic of Serbia, Republic of Croatia, the Federal Republic of Germany, the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China. Simultaneous translation will be provided.

The EU4Justice Project has developed the “Guide on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters and extradition” to share the working methodology, practice, and advice with prosecutors and judges to enable them to deal more efficiently with their cases of an international character. The Guide will be also presented at the workshop by the two experts who have developed it Mr Bernard Rabatel and Mr Nikola Sladoje.
