The SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence in European and International Law is a cross-border cooperation network between the Europa-Institut of Saarland University (Germany) and seven partners from South Eastern Europe – the South East European Law School Network (SEELS) and the Law Faculties of the University of Belgrade, the University of Montenegro, the University of Sarajevo, the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, the University of Tirana as well as the University of Zagreb. The project is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
The objective of the SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence is the promotion of outstanding
capabilities in the area of research and teaching. In that sense, the cluster aims at developing common structures and increasingly coordinating the research and teaching of European and International Law, including the development of common strategies on cross-border regional and local cooperation and on the EU Neighbourhood Policy in general.
The SEE | EU Cluster of Excellence strives to develop and improve cooperation both in terms of teaching and research in European and International Law. The Cluster of Excellence foresees various measures and activities aspiring to achieve the set goals: realization of summer schools and spring courses, increasing the cooperation between the partners, creation of eLearning modules, model curriculum, library cooperation, graduate schools, research projects, networking, scholarships, publications and exchange of experiences.
We decided to assemble our own text collection by compiling key documents of European Law with special focus on South Eastern Europe after recognizing that existing collections do not comply with the specific requirements necessary for the successful implementation of the planned measures and activities. This edition comprises a comprehensive but yet handy collection of relevant European Law documents from both the EU and the Council of Europe. Moreover, it includes the Treaty between the Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Croatia concerning the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union as well as the relevant Stabilisation and Association Agreements between the European Union and their Member States on the one hand and the Republic of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Macedonia, the Republic of Montenegro and the Republic of Serbia on the other hand.
