In order to further instigate knowledge-based policy making, the Council of Europe partnered with the Belgrade-based Institute of Comparative Law to make available, in Serbian, four publications containing standard-setting documents in the area of the rule of law, to members of the judiciary and other interested parties (previously the texts were mostly unavailable in the Serbian language).
These publications include the Serbian translations of opinions of the Consultative Council of European Judges and of the Consultative Council of European Prosecutors, selected recommendations of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers and certain Venice Commission Opinions, and relevant judgements of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Judge Snežana Bjelogrlić, President of the Judges’ Association of Serbia, stressed that this initiative is a landmark achievement in light of the on-going debates on amending constitutional provisions on the judiciary. She highlighted the importance of a knowledge-based reform and noted that sharing these publications among members of the judiciary will help ensure their informed participation in future discussions.
The links to the publications can be found below. Should you be interested in receiving hard copies of these documents by mail, please communicate your postal address to [email protected] by 31 January 2021 the latest.
