The Blog’s Aim

Our mission is to serve as South-East Europe’s premier public-law observatory—equipping legal professionals, policymakers, academics and civically engaged citizens with the analysis and practical insight they need to shape our Region’s democratic future. Through in-depth articles, written in plain language and brief format, case studies and expert interviews, we explore how constitutional design and judicial independence evolve in the SEE Region. We shine a spotlight on anti-corruption initiatives, from groundbreaking legislation to civil-society watch-dogging, and track emerging transitional-justice mechanisms that reckon with the legacies of conflict and authoritarianism. Whether unpacking a fresh court ruling on electoral fairness or illustrating how blockchain pilots can bolster public-sector transparency, our coverage bridges the gap between theory and practice.Anchored in a deep appreciation for European (Union) Law as both benchmark and catalyst, we keep our finger on the pulse of the implementation of EU Law and the relevant jurisprudence of the ECHR. By situating local debates within broader continental trends—be it data-privacy standards, AI governance or the European Charter of Fundamental Rights—we help you understand not only what’s happening today, but where South-East Europe’s public-law landscape is headed tomorrow.
