Judges, judicial assistants and court staff of the Higher Court in Kraljevo strengthened their capacities in using Serbia’s electronic case-law database during a specialised training organised on 5 June 2026, aimed at supporting a more consistent judicial practice and enhancing legal certainty.
Delivered by a Council of Europe expert, the training focused on the practical and technical aspects of using the electronic case-law database.
During the first session, court staff responsible for uploading decisions to the database were introduced to functionalities related to entering and categorising court decisions, adding descriptors and references, linking related cases, as well as uploading legal opinions and court bulletins. The second part of the training focused on judges and judicial assistants and covered advanced search functions, the use of descriptors and keywords, and the role of harmonised case-law in ensuring legal certainty, predictability and efficiency of judicial proceedings.
The training in Kraljevo was the second in a series of four trainings that will be organised across Serbia with the aim of strengthening the use of the electronic case-law database and supporting further harmonisation of judicial practice.
The activity was organised within the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye”, and its action “Strengthening legal culture in Serbia and the capacities of the judicial and prosecutorial councils”.
