| Summary: | This report aims at identifying the
particular needs and constraints faced by the poorest women
and men when accessing the judicial system. Similarly to the
Judicial Functional Review,6 the scope of this report
focuses primarily on the courts because they are the main
vehicle for justice service delivery and the primary
institutions of justice in Serbia. The scope includes all
types of services and covers litigious and non-litigious
aspects of civil, commercial, administrative, and criminal
justice. The focus is on the actual implementation and
day-to-day functioning of the sector institutions that
deliver justice to people, rather than the law on the
books . The scope includes other institutions in the sector
to the extent that they enable or impede service delivery by
the courts, including: the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the
High Judicial Council (HJC), the State Prosecutorial Council
(SPC), the courts, the Public Prosecutor Offices (PPOs), the
Judicial Academy, the Ombudsperson s Office, the police,
prisons, and justice sector professional organizations (such
as the Bar, notaries, bailiffs, and mediators). The focus of
this report is on access to justice services, including
relevant financial, informational, and geographic barriers
to such access. |
