The regional workshop on the civil law tools in seizure and confiscation was focused on legal solutions of EU countries in the field of extended confiscation / reversal of burden of proof regarding the source of property presumed to derive form crime. The workshop will also allow for extensive exchange of best practices from EU countries and countries from South-eastern Europe which already adopted some legal provisions on extended confiscation (mainly Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina). Participants from South-eastern Europe (Ministry of Justice, practitioners from judiciary and law enforcement) will use the experience gained to draw outlines of their future legal provisions on these topics.
