Law In Favour of the State and Against Citizens

“New provisions of the Civil Procedure Law (CPL) and the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), regress the legal regime of the Republic of Serbia into the authoritarian past, thus restricting citizens’ access to justice. By these provisions, the state becomes the most protected, and politicians and tycoons obtain a more privileged status compared to the citizens. These provisions also represent a threat for the media and the freedom of information”, Prof. Dr. Vesna Rakić-Vodinelić from the “Union” University Faculty of Law highlighted on January 23rd during the press conference regarding the initiative for assessing the constitutionality of the Civil Procedure Law held in the Belgrade “Media Centre”.
