Ko zeli da mu posaljem ceo eu izvestaj – samo me kontaktiraj. Cudo nevidjeno. Nikad gori izvestaj.
I u vreme Zivkovica ovako los izvestaj nije bio.
1.Izborni sistem(parlament) -The electoral framework legislation needs to be brought fully into line with European standards.
2.Rad vlade - Overall, the government continued to be stable, and the consensus on strategic priorities,
including EU integration, was maintained. However, both the preparation and implementation
of new legislation need to become more effective.
3. Administracija- Overall, the capacity of the public administration is good but reform in this area is advancing
at a slow and uneven pace. Further improvement of the legislative framework and a stronger
commitment to respect the mandate of independent regulatory bodies and provide them with
adequate resources are needed.
4.Civilna kontrola organa bezbednosti - Overall, there was further progress towards completing the legislation providing for civilian
oversight of security forces and implementing constitutionally guaranteed rights. However,
civilian oversight, including the work of the relevant parliamentary committee, needs to be
reinforced.
5. Pravosudje - Judicial system
Serbia made little progress towards further bringing its judicial system into line with
European standards, which is a key priority of the European Partnership.
The Law on the Judicial Academy was adopted in December 2009 and the Academy
established as the body responsible for the vocational training and continued professional
development of judges, prosecutors and judicial staff. New Court Rules of Procedure were
adopted in December 2009. They regulate the work of courts and the internal organisation of
the new court network. A new Law on Expert Witnesses was adopted in June 2010.
The reappointment procedure for all judges and prosecutors was carried out under the lead of
the Ministry of Justice in the second half of 2009 and took effect as of January 2010. The
overall number of judges and prosecutors was reduced by 20–25%. More than 800 judges
were not reappointed, out of previously around 3.000 judges and misdemeanour judges.
A new structure of the court network was implemented as of January 2010. The 138
municipal courts were reorganised into 34 basic courts. In addition, there are 26 higher courts,
4 courts of appeal and the Supreme Court of Cassation. The organisation of the prosecution
service was changed accordingly. The service was divided into basic, higher and appellate
prosecution offices. Special departments exist for war crimes and for organised crime. The
new Administrative Court became operational in January 2010. In July 2010, the appointment
of members of the Constitutional Court was completed.
However, major aspects of the recent reforms are a matter of serious concern. The
reappointment procedure for judges and prosecutors was carried out in a non-transparent way,
putting at risk the principle of the independence of the judiciary. The bodies responsible for
this exercise, the High Judicial Council and the State Prosecutorial Council, acted in a
transitory composition, which neglected adequate representation of the profession and created
a high risk of political influence. In addition, not all members had been appointed to either of
the councils. Objective criteria for reappointment, which had been developed in close
cooperation with the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission, were not applied. Judges and
prosecutors were not heard during the procedure and did not receive adequate explanations for
the decisions. First-time candidates (876 judges and 88 deputy prosecutors) were appointed
without conducting interviews or applying merit-based criteria. The overall number of judges
and prosecutors was not calculated in a reliable way and adjusted several times after the reappointment
had already been carried out. The right to appeal for non re-appointed judges was
limited to recourse to the Constitutional Court, which does not have the capacity to fully
review the decisions. Out of more than 1,500 appeals, only one case has been dealt with. In
this case, the Constitutional Court, for procedural reasons, annulled the initial decision.
The High Judicial Council and the State Prosecutorial Council have not yet been elected in
their permanent composition. New court presidents have not been appointed. The respective
legal deadlines expired in July and March 2010. The planned new Criminal Procedure Code,
the new Civil Procedure Code, the law on enforcement of judgments and the law on notaries
have not been adopted.
The large backlog of pending cases remains a matter of concern, in particular as the recent
reforms impacted negatively on the overall efficiency of the judicial system. The reduction of
the number of judges and prosecutors was not based on a proper needs assessment. Under the
new court system, courts which were closed continue to function as court units, in which civil
EN 11 EN
cases are heard. This means that judges and judicial staff have to travel between courts and
court units requiring significant resources and creating security concerns. A uniform system
for organising the work of the court seats and the new court units has not been established.
Case registration and the IT system connecting all courts and court units and allowing access
to files are not fully operational.
The Constitutional court faces a backlog of some 7,000 pending cases, including the appeals
filed by judges and prosecutors who have not been reappointed. The setting up of the Judicial
Academy still is at an early stage and vocational trainings have not yet started.
Progress on domestic cases of war crimes continued to be slow. There are 20 ongoing court
cases and investigations against 103 individuals.
Overall, Serbia’s judicial system only partially meets its priorities. There are serious concerns
over the way recent reforms were implemented, in particular the reappointment of judges and
prosecutors.
6.Korupcija - Overall, the institutional framework to fight corruption is in place with the Anti-Corruption
Agency starting its work in January 2010. However, corruption remains prevalent in many
areas and continues to be a serious problem. The legislative framework still shows
shortcomings, in particular with regard to supervision of political party funding and the
protection of whistleblowers. The Anti-Corruption Agency needs to be strengthened.
Implementation of existing laws needs to be improved. Further efforts are needed to better
process corruption cases, from investigation to final convictions.
7.Ljudska prava - Overall, the legal framework for human rights protection is in place and generally respected.
However, further efforts in education on international human rights standards and their
implementation are needed.
8. Ljudska i politicka prava - Overall, the constitutional framework providing for respect for civil and political rights is
largely in place. However, full implementation and enforcement remain to be ensured.
Relevant legislation remains to be brought more closely into line with European standards.
Further action by the authorities in combating violence of all types is needed.
9.Ekonomska i socijalna prava - Overall, the legal framework for the protection of social and economic rights is broadly in
place. However, the protection of women and children against all forms of violence needs to
be ensured. Further measures fighting all kinds of discrimination remain to be introduced.
Further efforts are required to clarify property rights
10.Prava manjina - Overall, the legal framework on the respect for and protection of minorities in Serbia is in
place. The National Minority Council elections were on the whole successfully organised.
Some improvements were recorded towards addressing the issue of the status of refugees and
IDPs. However, the National Minority Councils are yet to become operational. The number of
IDPs remains high and their situation critical. The majority of the Roma population lives in
extreme poverty and continues to face discrimination in particular as regards access to
education, social protection, health care, employment and adequate housing.
11.Regionalna i medjunarodna saradnja - Overall, Serbia’s international obligations are broadly complied with. Despite the active ongoing
cooperation of Serbia with ICTY, the two remaining fugitives are still at large.
Domestic processing of war crimes cases continued. Regional cooperation has improved and
Serbia made significant progress in its bilateral relations with other enlargement countries,
particularly Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, while continuing to have good relations
with neighbouring EU member states. Regional cooperation was affected by a lack of
agreement between Serbia and Kosovo on the latter's participation in regional meetings. An
acceptable and sustainable solution for the participation of both Serbia and Kosovo in regional
fora needs to be agreed as soon as possible. This is essential for inclusive and functioning
regional cooperation.
12. Ekonomija - Overall, macroeconomic stability was broadly preserved against the backdrop of the global
crisis owing to the adoption of timely measures in agreement with the IMF. There is
consensus on the fundamentals of a market economy. Medium-term fiscal and structural
reforms will have to be implemented without delay to enhance the resilience of the economy
