Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine has intensified existing geopolitical tensions throughout 2022 and into 2023, exposing persistent rule of law deficiencies in Southeast Europe (SEE-9). In order to increase the capacity of its civil society and government partners to monitor, diagnose and tackle corruption and close governance gaps, the Regional Good Governance Public-Private Partnership Platform (R2G4P) is holding a regional training and a summer school on 29-31 May 2023 in Belgrade. The event will present good practices on:
- Risk assessment and prevention of corruption, political patronage and illegal lobbying
- Investigating and tackling illicit financial flows and undue foreign influence
- Use of anti-money laundering and investment screening mechanisms
- Protecting media pluralism and challenging disinformation
- Efficient sanctioning of corruption and illicit finance
- Rebuilding political and economic alliances, and establishing robust monitoring mechanisms and transparency in the distribution of recovery funds
The training and summer school will be followed by a SEE Good Governance Summit in Sofia planned for 9 November 2023. The summit will provide a platform for public-private cooperation and affirmation of anti-corruption commitments.
