Prof. Dr. Calin Scripcaru
Conference President
Dear BAFS friends,
​
I have the pleasure to announce the new meeting of the Balkan Academy of Forensic Sciences which will join us in Iasi, Romania in October 2024. We are talking about the 15th meeting which, from my point of view mean more than 15 years of devoted work for this organization. I shall never forget the snow storms in Constanta when – together with Prof. Michalodimitrakis and Prof. Iscan – we prepared the meeting from 2005, the war fortresses in Albania when we prepared the meeting in Dures, the earthquake from Crete when we prepared the meeting in Serres and the beautiful lake from Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia.
​
Our final purpose is to build a solid structure of our profession in the Balkan area, not only for us but especially for those who will follow our steps. All Balkan Countries have their rout history, beautiful landscapes and wonderful people! So, our duty is to connect to each other and make a strong professional family and this will happen again the next year in Iasi. This is the most beautiful city in all Balkan area, of course, after the city each of you is coming from!
​
We are waiting for you with the proverbial Romanian hospitality and some special surprises!
