European countries reach a more unified position in judiciary

Belgrade/Helsinki, 8 April 2005

Serbian Minister of Justice Zoran Stojkovic stated at the Conference of European Justice Ministers organised by the Council of Europe in Helsinki, that the council achieved many results, including the adoption of resolutions in the fight against terrorism, making changes to prison regulations with special attention paid to the re-socialisation of minors, as well as to the provision of legal assistance in criminal matters, and made a search into legal solutions to debt problems in a credit society.

Stojkovic underlined that the signing of the Resolution on the importance of social elements in the criminal area is aimed at attaining better treatment of offenders and their acknowledgment of the committed act, as well as better protection for victims in relation to their material rights.

The adopted resolutions show that European countries are moving towards unified positions in all areas, Stojkovic said and added that they represent recommendations to be followed until legal regulations in certain areas are adopted.

The Minister of Justice signed yesterday in Helsinki the civil legal Convention on Corruption, which should increase the safety of investments and secure better protection of rights of citizens, while the signing of an additional Protocol for improving legal assistance in criminal matters should enable international cooperation in finding and bringing perpetrators of criminal acts to justice.
