International Conference: The Future of the Rule of Law and Democracy in Europe
This conference marks the end of the research project on the reform of the rule of law and democracy in Slovenia. Its objective is to reflect on the possible future scenarios of the evolution of the rule of law and democracy in Europe. As the research project has determined, while Slovenia suffers from its own specific rule of law and democracy problems, these are simultaneously part of a general trend of a gradual retreat of democracy and the rule of law across Europe, but in particular in the post-communist countries.
