The Belgrade Centre for Human Rights organised a four-day long seminar at Hotel Majestic to introduce the practice of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to a select group of project coordinators and legal advisors of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). The goal of the seminar was to give participants the practical knowledge to bring relevant cases before the ECHR. Norwegian Refugee Council selected 20 participants (9 from Belgrade, 11 from outside Belgrade). The seminar was comprised of a combination of lectures, case studies, and moot court sessions. Program lecturers included experts from nongovernmental and governmental institutions, foreign experts, and lecturers from the Belgrade Centre.
