Speaking at a press conference at which the project "The electronic base of regulations and court practice" was presented, Stojkovic said that access to this database through a computer network will allow for more efficient work of judiciary organs.
Underlining that this project has been done in line with European standards, the Minister said that computers in judiciary organs in bigger centres in Serbia have already been linked to the network, and that small centres will be sent CDs with the database.
"The electronic base of regulations and court practice" will soon be available to lawyers and citizens through the Internet, Stojkovic said and pointed out that the Ministry of Justice is responsible for updating legal regulations, the Serbian Supreme Court for court practice, and the Joint Affairs Directorate for other regulations.
Head of the European Commission delegation to Serbia Josep Lloveras said that an efficient judiciary is very important for foreign investors and all those who do business in Serbia.
He said that all country candidates for EU membership must meet criteria agreed on in Copenhagen on the functioning of democracy, rule of law, protection of human rights, market economy, institutions and organisations that can apply European laws and legislation.
Lloveras said that the European Commission will publish its annual report on September 24 on how East European countries progressed in their efforts to become EU candidates.
Head of the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR) Mission to Serbia Daniel Giuglaris said that the EAR invested €1.1 million in this project, which was realised in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice.
He pointed out that the application of this project will contribute to reforms and modernisation of the Serbian judicial system and recalled that between €350,000 and €500,000 had been set aside before, while expenses are now expected to amount to between €10,000 and €20,000.
Since October 2000, the EU invested a total of €30 million in various judicial reform projects in Serbia, Giuglaris recalled.
