In the regional office of the Judicial Academy in Nis, on December 17, 2025, with the support of the OSCE Mission in Serbia, the second promotion of the publication "Guidelines for compensation for non-material damages in case of discrimination" was held.

The lecturers at the training were the authors of the publication, prof. Dr. Nevena Petrušić, retired full professor of the Faculty of Law, University of Niš, and Jelica Bojanić Kerkez, retired judge of the Supreme Court.

Opening speeches were given by Andrea Delibašić, advisor in the Department for Research and Improvement of Education of the Judicial Academy, and Jelena Jokanović, program coordinator in the OSCE Mission to Serbia.

The presented publication is the result of examination of educational needs, analysis of cases and court practice, regional meetings and cooperation, but above all the work of focus groups and conversations with judges who made a valuable contribution with their experience and comments.
