The justice minister says by late 2008 all the necessary laws will have been passed to encompass judicial security. Dusan Petrovic told a press conference following the signing of a protocol on cooperation with the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development that a thorough analysis was being carried out on how court presidents and prosecutors had applied his directive on security appraisal. "Justice system overhaul continuing apace" He explained that every judge should be accorded high-risk security status. The justice minister said that the number of bodyguards for judges had doubled over the last ten months, while a number of technical things had been achieved in enhancing judges’ security, something that would continue over the coming months, in order to raise that level as high as possible. According to Petrovic, the protocol, which was signed on Madrid’s behalf by Spanish ambassador to Serbia Jose Riera Siquier, will help prepare all the technical measures for the speedy establishment in Serbia of a High Judicial Council, thus “laying the foundations for the justice system.” The overriding aim is, he said, for Serbia to encompass judicial reform within the framework of the new Constitution, and to have an independent and efficient judiciary. Siquier said that Spain was determined to support Serbia on her path to the EU, as well as in political, economic and social transformation. “The establishment of a truly legal state is one of the biggest challenges that young democracies are faced with,” he said, adding that Spain backed the creation of an organ that would guarantee judicial authority in an effective manner.
