Summary of the event:
The
Republic of Serbia joined for the first time the
celebration of the European Day of Civil Justice on
October 25th 2011. In this regard, the two separate
events were organized in Belgrade and Kladovo.
First Counsel of Misdemeanor Courts Judges held in
Kladovo, 10/25/2011
"European Day of Civil Justice should remind us of the
necessity to continuously work on bringing justice
closer to citizens of Serbia and our forthcoming
admission to the family of European countries", said
Minister of Justice of the Republic of Serbia. Ms.
Snezana Malovic at the opening of the First Counsel of
Misdemeanor Courts Judges held in Kladovo to mark the
European Day of Civil Justice. Ms. Malović told that the
Ministry will continue to insist on bringing justice
closer to citizens, and put additional efforts to
establishing the rule of law and the achievement of
European standards. Public awareness about the judiciary
is best created through the work of misdemeanor courts,
as the public most frequently encounters with them,
indicated Ms. Malovic. That is why the opening of the
First Counsel of Misdemeanor Courts Judges was scheduled
on this important date.
A strong impetus to the entire judiciary should
certainly be a recent European Commission report which
expressed support to Serbia and positively assessed the
course of its judicial reform, but Ms. Malovic pointed
out that "despite all this, a lot of work awaits and we
will not stop here."
European Day of Civil Justice Reception at the
Judicial Academy, Belgrade, 10/25/2011
At the Judicial Academy of the Republic of Serbia, the
Ministry of Justice organized a reception for the first
and second generation of students of the Academy to mark
the European Day of Civil Justice. Opening speech was
given by Ms. Gordana Pualić, State Secretary in the
Ministry of Justice. Ms. Pualić told the students that
there could be no rule of law without an independent and
impartial judiciary. "The Judicial Academy is a path to
a truly independent judiciary and a pledge for the
future Serbia as a democratic state with the rule of
law”.
Ms. Sonja Vidanovic from the High Judicial Council, and
Ms. Gordana Janicijevic, Deputy Public Prosecutor, also
spoke from their position on the importance of the
institution of the Judicial Academy and proper education
for holders of judicial functions.
According to Mr. Bruno Vekaric, the Deputy Prosecutor
for War Crimes and the CEO of the Judicial Academy, the
judicial reform aimed at making justice "not slow and
attainable, but fast and efficient", and above all,
accessible to all citizens, has given some positive
results, as pointed out in the report of the European
Commission. Institutions in Serbia are visibly
reinforced and material and human capacities are
evident, even though not yet fully developed, Mr.
Vekaric said, noting that Serbia is also on a track to
ensure justice network of cooperation with other Western
Balkan countries.
The Director of the Judicial Academy, Mr. Nenad Vujic,
said that training is one of the key requirements for
populating judiciary with quality staff, as well as for
developing an independent, impartial and efficient
judiciary. He also gave a lecture on fundamental human
rights and the access to justice in the afternoon part
of the program.
