Justice Minister Snezana Malovic says that laws on judicial reform don't mention reappointment or lustration, but exclusively the general appointment of judges. She stresses that there will be no “purge“ of judges. MoJ: No purge of judiciary The minister made the comments in an interview for the Tuesday issue of daily Vecernje Novosti . “There are two reasons for that. The first one is that the Constitution says that election for all courts in Serbia will be conducted in the next two years, while the second reason is that the set of judicial laws envisages the complete reorganization of the judiciary in Serbia,“ she said. Malovic said that there would be no kind of purge. “As concerns the laws’ constitutionality, the one and only legitimate organ in the country that can rule on this is the Constitutional Court. Thus far no-one has filed a motion to assess the constitutionality of Article 7, Paragraph 2 of the Law on Implementation of the Constitution, which pertains directly to complying with general appointment,“ she said. The minister said that if such an initiative was launched after adoption of the law, the Justice Ministry would respect the Constitutional Court’s decision on the matter. Malovic said that the reforms envisioned by these laws were radical. “I know that people fear reforms and innovation. But, we are ready do defend those reforms and we will show that, as of January 1, 2010, a basis for more efficient work will be created,“ the minister stressed. Snezana Malovic (FoNet, archive)
