20/07/2022 @ 11:00 - 13:00
Integration of Judiciary in the context of Belgrade and Prishtina dialogue and the Access to Justice related to Kosovo
The Lawyers’ Committee for Human Rights YUCOM has the pleasure to invite you to the conference “Judiciary Integration in the context of Belgrade and Prishtina dialogue and the EU accession process” which will be held on July 20, 2022 at 11 am at the Media Center Belgrade (Terazije 3). The conference is the final event of the “Towards Stronger Judiciary through Citizens’ Monitoring: Justice Agreement Monitoring: Phase 3” project, implemented by YUCOM in 2021 and 2022 with the support of the Royal Embassy of Norway and the Balkan Trust for Democracy.
At the conference the team will present the findings of the newest Report No. 3 on the Implementation and Effects of the Justice Agreement “Integration of Judiciary in the Judicial System of Kosovo in the Context of Belgrade – Prishtina Dialogue And EU Accession Process“.
The report is the result of the research covering the period from January 2021 to April 2022. In addition to the findings on how the agreement was implemented and the Serbian judiciary integrated into Kosovo’s institutions, the research shows the current state of functioning of the integrated judicial institutions during the almost five years of implementation of the agreement. Based on the findings of the second report, the third report additionally covers the challenges of Serbian courts in achieving access to justice for citizens who live or exercise their rights on the territory of Kosovo, but also specifically clarifies the problem of the lack of other legal services available in the Serbian language. Additionally, the report presents cases that are handled differently in the two justice systems, leaving citizens in legal limbo.
Please register your presence or the presence of a representative of your organization via e-mail office@yucom.org.rs by July 19, 2022. Interpretation will be provided during the conference, and the report will be distributed after the conference. The conference will be streamed online via social networks.
