Automatic case handling programme put into operation in Nis District Court

Nis, 2 April 2007

Serbian State Secretary at the Ministry of Justice Branislav Bjelica visited the Nis District Court today where he put into operation a work programme for automatic case handling, which will allow automatic processing of cases and lead to greater judicial efficiency, as well as handing of cases to judges according to schedule and monitoring of cases from pressing charges to passing of sentences.

Bjelica said on the occasion that the software “Sena” and equipment for automatic handling of data were secured with the help of the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR) which provided Serbian judiciary funds worth nearly €8 million for the purpose.

He pointed out that Nis is the second centre in Serbia, following Sremska Mitrovica, where electronic monitoring and automatic case handling has begun. He added that this system will also be established in all courts of general jurisdiction by the end of the year.

Bjelica said that commercial courts, as well as the department for organised crime and war crimes will work according to special programmes and added that a one year period will be needed for courts to adapt completely to the new system, which is also the period for which a double system for handling cases will be valid.

EAR representative Bogdan Turudija said that since 2001 the EAR approved nearly €50 million to the judicial system in Serbia and the Serbian Ministry of Interior.
