Nearly 80 participants have so far responded to the invitation to attend three workshops held on February 24 in Pristina, on February 27 in Ferizaj and on February 28 in Gjilan – together with all the municipalities included in these three large regions.
In the coming weeks, workshops will continue in the municipalities of Prizren, Mitrovica, Peja and Gjakova.
For the development of the workshops, BIRN Kosovo has engaged Haxhi Gashi, a senior legal expert.
In parallel, BIRN Kosovo started trainings with municipal cadastral officials in early February to build the capacities of the Cadastral Offices. Xhevat Azemi, a legal expert, and Drenushë Jonuzi Kukaj, a cadastre specialist, led trainings in Prishtina, Ferizaj, Gjilan and Graçanica – inviting officials who are from the Serbian community – and in Gjakova.
The purpose of the trainings and workshops is to build the capacities of the Cadastral Offices, notaries, bailiffs, mediators, lawyers and ultimately judges.
This activity is part of the Public Information and Awareness Services for Vulnerable Communities in Kosovo PIAKOS project, in which BIRN acts as a co-implementing party.
The project is financed by the World Bank/State and Peace Building Trust Fund.
