The Faculty of Law welcomes scholars, researchers and non-teaching staff who would like to take advantage of our extensive library and networking resources to enhance their research projects or get familiar with our scope of work and our know-how.

Use extensive print and electronic resources in the largest and oldest law library in Southeast Europe. Feel free to access the European Documentation Centre (EDC), a major source of information and expertise about the institutions, activities and policies of the European Union (EU).
