ESI analyst Adnan Cerimagic participated as a mentor in a workshop on how to write policy papers organized by the Civil Rights Defenders. The first workshop was held in May 2020 and participants, seven young activists and researchers coming from the six Western Balkans states and Turkey, since then worked on their policy papers. On 28 January 2021 in an event organised jointly by the Civil Rights Defenders and the European Parliament, participants presented their policy papers and Adnan provided his comments.
