A:
Positive opinion of Venice Commission on new set of judicial laws
Belgrade,
21 October 2022
The adopted positive opinion indicates that the judicial laws, together with the changes to the Constitution that the citizens of Serbia recently confirmed in the referendum, have the potential to lead to significant positive changes in the Serbian judiciary and that the working texts of the laws are well structured, clearly written and include all essential points to be covered.
It was emphasised that the further improvement of the judiciary depends mostly on a solid legislative framework, which will ensure that the independent judiciary and the independent public prosecutor's office enjoy a high reputation in society and are oriented towards the future.
The Venice Commission praised the Ministry of Justice for the significant efforts made in the preparation of the judicial laws, as well as for the inclusiveness and transparency of the law preparation process, and stressed that it should continue the law-making process in the same spirit, while ensuring public consultations in the coming months that will precede the vote on laws in the National Assembly.
In its opinion, the Venice Commission made recommendations that the Ministry of Justice will consider in detail and implement in the texts of laws those recommendations that are in the best interest of the legal order of the Republic of Serbia.
