The State of Serbia Paid Damages for Illegal Work of State Institutions

The State of Serbia paid 250,000 Dinars to Roma Danilo Dimitrijević in damages for the violation of his rights prescribed by the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment [Convention Against Torture], which was determined in the decision of the UN Committee Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment [UN Committee Against Torture] rendered on 16 November 2005. HLC believes that, in this settlement, the Republic of Serbia Public Attorney’s Office was guided by the poor financial situation in which Danilo Dimitrijević was and offered him compensation of 250,000 Dinars, which is not a just satisfaction for the injustice caused to him.
