On 3 July, the Committee of Ministers ended its supervision of the execution of the European Court’s judgment in Stefanović and Banković concerning unfair proceedings before the Constitutional Court of Serbia in 2015. The European Court found a violation on account of the Constitutional Court’s failure to inform the applicants of constitutional appeals lodged against final court judgments rendered in their favour.
On 26 December 2024, the Constitutional Court revised its 2008 legal opinion regarding notification of third (interested) parties in constitutional appeal proceedings. Constitutional appeals must now be communicated to any third party whose rights or obligations may be directly affected by the Constitutional Court’s decision, enabling them to submit a response. The revised opinion was published on the website of the Constitutional Court.
