On June 18, 2026, the Serbian National Assembly continued its extraordinary session, focusing on amendments to judicial laws aligned with Venice Commission recommendations and changes in health regulations.

Judicial Law Amendments

The proposed amendments aim to enhance the independence and efficiency of Serbia's judiciary. Key changes include:

  • Public Prosecution: Modifications to the Law on Public Prosecution to improve prosecutorial autonomy.
  • Judiciary Organization: Revisions to the Law on Judges and the Law on the High Prosecutorial Council to streamline judicial processes.
  • High-Tech Crime: Updates to the Law on the Organization and Jurisdiction of State Authorities in the Fight against High-Tech Crime to address emerging challenges.

Justice Minister Nenad Vuji07 emphasized that these changes are designed to increase judicial efficiency and accessibility for citizens, aligning with European standards.

Health Law Amendments

In addition to judicial reforms, the Assembly discussed amendments to health-related laws, including:

  • Human Cells and Tissues: Changes to the Law on Human Cells and Tissues to enhance regulatory frameworks.
  • Organ Transplantation: Revisions to the Law on Transplantation of Human Organs to improve procedures and patient outcomes.

Parliamentary Debate

The session saw active participation from both ruling and opposition parties. While the ruling majority supports the amendments as steps toward greater judicial independence and efficiency, some opposition members express concerns about potential external pressures influencing the reforms.

Implications

The ongoing legislative process reflects Serbia's commitment to aligning its legal and health systems with European standards. Successful implementation of these amendments could enhance the country's EU accession prospects and improve public trust in its institutions.
