WELS Belgrade on Diplomacy & Law
ELSA Belgrade presents the third edition of its Winter ELSA Law School, which will take place in Belgrade from March 02-09, 2025! The topic we are addressing this year is Diplomacy & Law!
During our WELS, participants will get the chance to explore both the old and the new centres of Diplomacy in Europe and the world. We are joining forces with the Faculty of Law and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to offer a unique course on EU policymaking.
At the same time, participants will get the chance to follow interactive lectures, participate in institutional visits, and broaden their knowledge of European Institutions, European Law and the European decision-making process.
Through our Cultural and Social Programme, participants will have the chance to immerse themselves in Belgrade's rich cultural legacy and experience traditional Serbian hospitality. Belgrade is the "Balkan Jewel" and one of the oldest European cities, a city where history and modernity meet and converge seamlessly.
If you ever wondered about our nightlife, have you heard that Belgrade never sleeps?
