Public Disscucions:


ATRC holds monthly public discussions and legislative briefings in an effort to inform NGOs about initiatives they can undertake; provide a forum for the exchange of experience and ideas; provide expertise for NGOs on different issues; provide networking opportunities for NGOs; inform the public of civil society’s activities; and discuss social, economic, and political matters of interest in Kosovo. When appropriate, ATRC invites the media in order to ensure that the information shared at public discussions reaches a wider audience. Therefore local and national television stations, newspapers, and radio stations have covered nearly all of ATRC’s public discussions.
