The second subregional workshop for senior members of the judiciary took place on 17-18 November 2008 in the capital of Albania, Tirana. The workshop brought together senior judges from the subregion, as well as several senior judges from the EU countries and international environmental law experts. It followed the general model of the earlier Kiev workshop.
The workshop, organized in cooperation with Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), was financially supported by contributions from the Government of France, the OSCE fund and the trust fund of the Aarhus Convention.
