Organisers: European Parliament & Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe
On 16 October 2006, the Stability Pact and the European Parliament held in Zagreb the second round of seminars in the framework of the Parliamentary Troika (European Parliament, Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly and OSCE Parliamentary Assembly), aimed at the Chairs of relevant Committees of SEE Parliaments.
The first seminar focussed on Parliamentary control of the security sector in South East Europe, a priority when seeking for accountable armed forces and security services.The second seminar tackled the judicial reforms in South East Europe, a fundamental feature of any modern democratic state and a cornerstone of the Stabilisation and Association Process as well as of the accession negotiations. Both adequate legislation and proper implementation are required for both and Parliaments have a key role to play in these areas.
At the closure, participants of each seminar adopted a Declaration, committing on the promotion of regular exchanges of experiences and calling on relevant insitutions for the development of specific capacity building programmes.
