PRISTINA, 18 April 2001 - The Kosovo Law Centre (KLC) will hosting a grand opening of its new law library on Thursday, 19 April. The law library is a resource that will be open and accessible to everyone in Kosovo.
The library contains various law journals and international treaties, including publications from the United Nations and the Council of Europe. It also comprises books and legal texts donated by individuals and universities from throughout Europe. The KLC is also anticipating large book donations from the United States. The KLC intends to network with other libraries in Kosovo including the University of Pristina Law Faculty Library and the Human Rights Centre of the University of Pristina Library. This will also eventually include a computerised link between libraries.
Rolf Welberts, Director of the OSCE Human Rights and Rule of Law Department, and Professor Rudolf Machachek, former Presiding Judge of the Austrian Supreme Court and a major contributor to the library, will speak at the opening.
The opening will take place on Thursday, April 19, at 18:00 hrs, at the KLC. Media are invited to attend the ceremonies.
"The primary focus at the KLC is to take a long-term sustainable approach to educating students and professors. Libraries are a main source for cultivating and maintaining such progress", said Dr. Sebastian von Muenchow, International Co-Director of the KLC. "We welcome any book donations by local and international persons or institutions which will enhance and expand our library for the people."
The KLC was established in June 2000 by the OSCE as part of its institution-building mandate. The Centre serves as a legal think-tank devoted to the cultivation of professional legal skills by providing technical and material assistance to the legal community. KLC's goal is to promote democratic principals, multiculturalism, high ethical standards, human rights, and the rule of law.
