The Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence (BFPE) – along with six partner organizations, part of the Council of Europe’s Network of Schools of Political Studies – have successfully closed one of their most ambitious programs in political education and capacity-building so far, the Regional Academy for Democracy in Belgrade.

In four working days, 70+ young and aspiring politicians, representing political parties from all seven of western Balkans’ societies have taken part in two distinct activities: first, in the fourth and last seminar intended for the third (2015) generation of RAD participants; and second, RAD’s closing conference, held on 30 November.

The last in the series of four seminars was dedicated to the role played by non-state actors in the policy process, and was opened by Prof. Tanja Miscevic, Head of Serbia’s Negotiating Team (with the European Union). She was accompanied in her opening address by our Dean, Mr. Pierre Mirel.

Finally, our Dean for 2015, Mr. Pierre Mirel presented the certificates (co-signed by Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Mr. Torbjorn Jagland) to our participants.
