Strengthening the Fight against Corruption: Conflict of Interests
On 19 and 20 January 2023, a two‑day international conference titled “Strengthening the Fight against Corruption: Conflict of Interests” and with the participation of international speakers took place in Hotel Hermitage Prague. The topic of the conference was conflict of interest i.e., a situation where the private interest of a public official comes into conflict with the public interest.
Holding the conference is one of the important activities of the project “Strengthening the Fight against Corruption by Increasing General Awareness of the Public Sector Focusing on Judges, Prosecutors and Public Administration”, which is supported by the EEA Grants 2014-2022 under the programme “Good Governance”. The financial support from the EEA Grants allows all participants to address the topics dealt within the project in greater depth. The individual outputs of the project thus contribute to a better understanding of the challenges, help to implement effective measures and at the same time raise awareness of the issues to the public. The project partners of the Ministry of Justice are the Prosecutor General’s Office and Judicial Academy.
