- Presentation of the most important elements of the Public Procurement Law;
- Disputable issues in detecting and prosecuting abuse cases related to public procurement and

The second training was held for deputy public prosecutors and prosecutorial assistants of special anti-corruption departments in High Prosecutor Offices in the field of public procurement cases, on the topics of:
