Improving position of judiciary priority of Justice Ministry
Belgrade,
2 June 2007
Serbian Assistant Minister of Justice Snezana Malovic said today that improving the financial position of those employed in the judiciary is a priority of the Ministry of Justice since it is an important precondition for making the judiciary independent.
Speaking at an international conference titled, “Independent Judiciary and Transition Challenges” being held at the Palace of Justice, she stressed that priorities of the Ministry of Justice will include creation of conditions for the administrative and appeal courts to begin work, establishment of an optimally effective and sustainable network of courts and mechanisms for improving the work of the judiciary.
According to Malovic, the Ministry of Justice will also deal with establishing precise criteria for improving the work of employees in the judiciary, and the disciplinary responsibilities for conducting court procedures in an inexpert, inefficient and unsuitable manner.
She stressed that effective legislation should be the result of consensus between legislative and executive authorities, adding that any criticism directed at relevant ministries will be considered as constructive recommendations for resolving controversial questions.
The conference which gathered more than 90 judges and prosecutors from Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Republika Srpska, Croatia, Montenegro, Holland and Serbia, has been organised by the Judges’ Association of Serbia and the European association of judges and prosecutors.
Participants of the conference will examine international standards regarding the position of judges and prosecutors in democracy, personnel problems in judiciary and prosecution reform, guarantee of independence in judiciary, and the question of responsibility.
