Neven Pelicarić, the Croatian Ambassador to the Holy See, had the pleasure of closing the SELS Rijeka: Diplomacy & Law with his interesting talk on the use of diplomacy for preventing conflict. "Just talk talk talk. Ignoring the other side never solves anything."

The last academic day of SELS Rijeka has started by another one of our returning lectures, dr. Gordan Grlić Radman, the Croatian Ambassador to Hungary, and his talk on neutrality and contemporary interpretation relations. "Neutrality can take many different forms."

The day continues on with Toma Gali, Assistant Minister for International Legal Affairs at the Croatian Foreign Office, taking the floor and talking about the application of universal jurisdiction and the recently held international arbitration between Croatia and Slovenia

We have the pleasure of listening to one of our returning lecturers, Tomislav Car, the Representative of Croatia to the EU Political and Security Committee. "EU enlargement is now more concerned with Ukraine and Turkey and it has to face many conflicting geopolitical interests."

And on the third day we have the pleasure of listening to dr.sc. Ana Holjevac-Turkovic and her talk on "the most successful reintegration in history" following the Homeland War

The second day of SELS Rijeka has kicked off with a talk on international investigations and cooperation by Elizabeth Sreenan, a federal US prosecutor and the regional legal advisor at the US Embassy to Croatia.
