Translating and Publishing the Book: T.C. Hartley, The Foundations of European Community Law

December 21, 1998

Donor: Constitutional and Legal Policy Institute and Open Society Fund
Duration of the project: January – December 1998

This book was the first book on Serbian language explaining the system of the EU law after Maastricht Agreement. The reason for translating and publishing this book was the lack of knowledge and understanding of the Community law, not only in the general public, but also among those supposed to deal with this subject in education, law enforcement and legal representation. It was important for the legal professionals to have the book about EC law because there is luck of the literature in Serbian language on this subject, especially because there is no this kind of education in the curriculum on the universities in Yugoslavia. On the other hand Centre believed that Yugoslavia will change the regime in the near future and begin with the processes of the European integration.
