Supreme Court (VSS) President Vida Petrovic-Skero says that the authorities will look into conflict of interests claims concerning the justice minister and RIK. Petrovic-Skero told B92 that she had warned parliament that, by law, judges cannot occupy two paid positions at the same time and that the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) Chairman Sonja Brkic should not be in that position, because she was a Supreme Court judge as well. Supreme Court warns of conflict of interest “I reached certain agreements at meetings with court presidents, and asked all the judges to refuse participation in the electoral commissions. These commissions erode the authority of judges, and these decisions are subject to court control,” the VSS president explained. “It can happen, and it happens very frequently, that different decisions are taken by the court related to the Electoral Commission, and then they say—yes, but the judge is a member of the Electoral Commission. For these reasons there are recommendations, there is also a law, and I don’t think that we should participate in that part of the process,” Petrovic-Skero said. Vida Petrovic-Skero (FoNet archive)
