Representatives from “the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia, supported by international experts, had the opportunity to discuss good practices and challenges in case-law harmonization through respective national mechanisms for the harmonization of judicial practice.
