Judiciary in Serbia

Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade DOO

According to the new law, after the expiration of the decision on referral, new deputies would be chosen in mandatory competitions, and then the question is whether the State Council of Prosecutors would make the same choice as the head of the Prosecutor's Office, Nenad Stefanović. In fact, the choice of the really best for those positions could leave him without blackmail potential, and thus his power, as well as the power of the prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac, would begin to weaken.

Is justice just slow after all?

Although the filing of indictments has become significantly faster and more efficient with the introduction of prosecutorial investigations, criminal proceedings still take a long time, and some even take too long.

And from Božić Bata – SS badge

How did it happen that children without parental care are brought Christmas presents by people decorated with Nazi symbols, and all this just a few hundred meters from the mounds of schoolchildren shot in 1941?

The case of basketball player Fakunda Kampac

Expensive and shiny, but unregistered

For months, the sports community, as well as the general public, have been asking why so much investment in expensive transfers, especially due to the fact that most of the money for the high goals of Zvezda and Partizan came at the will and will of the state government, and at the same time there is a lot of disorder and inaction in domestic basketball, with the most common the excuse that there is not enough money or the necessary infrastructure to keep up with the world and maintain the status of the golden national sport

Personal attitude

Where do I have to pay the court fees now?

Court fees actually represent a fee for a service rendered to a citizen or a legal entity, at his request, by the court in court proceedings through the performance of procedural actions and the decision on the requests made during the proceedings. Therefore, the emergence of tax liability in court proceedings is always linked to the initial action of the party in the proceedings, which sets a specific proposal on which the court should decide

The world would not be the same without translators

Mirjana Marinković is said to be Orhan Pamuk's translator because she translated eight of his books into Serbian. Apart from the great Pamuk, her translation oeuvre consists of the works of several Turkish writers - Ilber Ortayli, Ayfer Tunç, Saba Altinsay, Nazim Hikmet, Nedim Gursel, Birgul Oguz.

Personal attitude

Instrumentalization of the culture of memory

In July of last year, Aleksandar Vučić recently declared that the Fairground was "under heavy layers of oblivion" until he remembered him, and that, with him, Serbian society "finally figuratively and really frees the Fairground." And it frees it in the same way that, 30 years ago, Vučić's political like-minded people at the time "liberated" Dubrovnik: from the destroyed old tower of the Belgrade Fair, a "prettier and older" one emerges, all with a panoramic elevator, the sole purpose of which is to give the visitors of the Memorial Center, instead of reminding past, offer a view of the future, Vučić's Belgrade on the water

Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia

For a new cultural policy: against dogmatism

Bombs, money and women's rights

Making money off the backs of marginalized groups, and in this particular case on the fight for women's rights, has always existed, but it seems to me that it has been particularly prominent lately. Personally, it took me a while to start evaluating which initiatives are disingenuous. And it's easy: those who pay themselves and don't pay the content creator are dishonest

Proletarians of all identities, unite

Although we also led anti-colonial resistance in the Second World War, we dutifully ran not only into a hyper-destructive round of wars for the restoration of capitalism in ethno-states, but those wars were our own colonial projects. Whoever wants to deal with decolonization, neocolonialism and the peripheralization of our new states, must start from that

Procedure in consumer disputes

The consumer dispute is of an urgent nature, the costs of the procedure have been reduced to the lowest possible extent, which aims to improve the procedural position of the consumer as a financially weaker contracting party; if the parties in the proceedings are "active" and submit evidence to the court at the first hearing for the main hearing, they can resolve their disputed relationship in the first-instance proceedings before the court no later than within 30 days from the date of receipt of the lawsuit in court

On the spot: Kosovska Mitrovica

Standard calm, but tense

No one feels safe in the North. School classes have been suspended since Monday. The only shops open in the city. As it starts to get dark, messages start coming in - does anyone have information about what will happen tonight, will they try to force the barricades away

International Day of Migrants

With little or no rights, but necessary for everyone

Among their problems are access to the territory, exposure to human smuggling and trafficking, sometimes slave labor, arbitrary deprivation of freedom of migrants, problems with status regulation, insufficient consular assistance and diplomatic protection. The problem of realizing and recognizing acquired rights, such as regulation of seniority, obtaining conditions for retirement, is also current... Added to all this is exposure to discrimination, hate speech and hate crimes.

Irregularities in execution

The Law on Enforcement and Security, as one of the ways of judicial control of the work of public enforcement officers (which is reduced to a minimum in the enforcement procedure), provided for a special legal remedy, which is a request for the removal of irregularities. With the aforementioned legal means, the party and the participant in the procedure can demand that the irregularities that occurred during and on the occasion of the implementation of the execution be eliminated.

Misdemeanor or felony

As a rule, the act of committing a criminal offense is followed by a consequence, and in contrast, for a violation to exist, the existence of a concrete consequence is generally not necessary

Noise pollution in the Western Balkans

Noise, the underestimated enemy

There are many types of pollution in the Balkans. Some, like dirty air, are widely known and reported on daily. On the other hand, there are those like noise, "quiet" in the media and the public, but omnipresent in the lives of citizens. Noise never sleeps, on the contrary, it daily damages the health of those who have nowhere to escape from it
