The discussions centered on key aspects of the initial training processes and continuous training of judges and prosecutors. Thus, the experts expressed a particular interest in the content and structure of the curricula, as well as in the ways of providing training on sensitive areas for the judiciary: professional ethics and deontology, integrity, anti-corruption, etc.
Also, the usefulness of organizing training sessions and thematic schools to contribute to the development of specialized skills of the Institute's beneficiaries was discussed.
