Regional Workshop on Defence Budgeting

Magdalena Lembovska took part in the “Regional Workshop on Defence Budget Analysis for Parliamentary Staff Advisors and Civil Society Researchers in the Western Balkans” taking place from the 19-21 January 2016 in Belgrade, Serbia.

The workshop was organized by the Geneva Center for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF).

The event brought together parliamentary advisors to Defence and Security Committees, to Budget Committees and researchers from civil society organizations from the Western Balkans.

The workshop aimed at further development of local capacities to analyse budget documents, providing a regional platform for discussing defence budget related challenges and encouraging local stakeholders to provide national parliaments with the information needed in order to participate in the defence budgeting process in a more open and informative manner.
