Minister of Justice, OSCE discuss judiciary situation in Serbia
Belgrade,
3 June 2005
Serbian Minister of Justice Zoran Stojkovic talked today with head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia-Montenegro Maurizio Massari and ambassadors of OSCE delegations of Norway, Spain, Ireland and Lichtenstein about the situation and problems of the local judiciary.
Stojkovic informed the OSCE ambassadors of the adopted legal framework and efforts exerted by the Ministry of Justice to establish an independent judiciary in Serbia, as well as problems related to training judiciary employees, inefficiency and corruption.
As regards to war crimes trials, the Minister of Justice said that there is political will, capacity and conditions for trying the perpetrators before local courts, and emphasised that this would help the public deal with those crimes and accelerate the reconciliation process in the Balkans.
During the meeting it was pointed out that there is good cooperation in southern Serbia between the OSCE and the Coordinating Body for the Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja municipalities but that the problem of inclusion of ethnic Albanians into judicial institutions needs to be solved in that part of Serbia.
