As the first Croatian MEP, appointed to head the EU observation mission for the elections in Nepal, MEP Zovko will take part in the workshop “Parliamentary Dimension of the Election Observation Missions”. She will address the role of the European Parliament in observation missions and her personal experience in observation missions.

MEP Zovko wil meet members of the academia, university students and university professors of the Master Programme for Democracy and Human Rights (EMA) to discuss the global challenges and new opportunities for the future of education.

“The European Parliament has a very importan role when it comes to elections in the third countries. The Parliament may offer support and know-how to its partners in the implementation of international standards and principles with the uttermost goal to ensure the highest possible level of transparency and legitimacy during the election process.” said Zovko in the debate with the students.
