This is the first workshop carried out by KOMF, to continue further with 12 other two-day workshops at the local level, which are expected to cover the municipalities of Kosovo. These workshops aim to promote the Child Protection Law, which has been in force for two years, and to acquaint each professional with the responsibilities arising from the law, based on their institutional mandate. Through them, over 500 professionals will benefit over 500 professionals from various Municipal Directorates, Centers for Social Work, Schools, Family Medicine Centers, Police Stations, Courts, Prosecutor’s Offices and Non-Governmental Organizations.
