Under the EU-funded EU for Justice − Support for Chapter 23 project, the Ministry of Justice organised a two-day training (18−19 November) on electronic monitoring of bailiffs’ operations for its Judicial Professions Department staff.
The purpose of this training was to present the system for electronic monitoring of bailiffs to the Ministry staff whose job involves monitoring of bailiffs.
The trainees had the opportunity to learn from the representatives of the e-Justice Section about electronic monitoring of bailiffs’ operations, and to learn how electronic monitoring will be performed in proceedings where amended legal provisions in the area of enforcement and security will apply as of 1 January 2020.
It should be noted that this year, for the third time in a row, the Informatics Association of Serbia presented the Ministry of Justice with an award for informatics development.
This year, the Ministry of Justice also received recognition for continuing the development of the judicial information system for four projects: eZio application, Case Flow for Bailiffs, Bailiffs’ Operations Monitoring System and JIS-Based Deferred Prosecution Agreements Database.
As of October 2019, the Ministry has made it possible for citizens, attorneys and businesses to access their enforcement cases, initiated from September 2019, online through the Portal of Courts, thus significantly increasing the transparency of enforcement proceedings.
The most recent amendments to the Enforcement and Security Act − which are to enter into force on 1 January 2020 − will introduce major novelties to enforcement proceedings, such as the e-Auction and electronic notice board.
