This monograph is the final output of PRESENT project. The Project addresses the direct need of training and receiving insight on the changes that are going to be incorporated in the legislation of European Union Member States (MS) in order to transpose Directive (EU) 2016/343.

Implemented under the coordination of Law and Internet Foundation, the PRESENT project hás provided training to legal practitioners, prosecutors, and judges, who will then contribute to the enhancement of the right to be present, as delineated in the Directive in each country. Further, the PRESENT project has provided a comprehensive comparative analysis for all partner countries’ legislation in respect to the right to be present of suspected or accused persons in criminal proceedings. The project was implemented with the support of the JUSTICE Programme of the European Commission under Grant Agreement 760482.
