Additionally, the beneficiary institutions reported on main achievements in the area of economic crime to date as a direct result of support provided within the framework of PECK III. 
Moreover, the meeting was addressed by special guests representing the Special Prosecution Office and Special Department at the Basic Court of Pristina who provided positive feedback on the impact that the mentoring programme (on-the-job training) had in increasing effectiveness of prosecuting and adjudicating money laundering offences.
