The Regional Steering Group (RSG) for the project held its third meeting in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, to assess progress in the implementation of the project and plan future activities.

The members of the RSG positively assessed the work conducted since their first meeting in September 2015. The RSG decided to reconvene again in September 2016 in Strasbourg during the next Working Group meetings in order to examine aspects of  judicial independence; ways to ensure inclusive and transparent reform processes and the use of alternative dispute mechanisms.
