The MDTF JSS Commercial Courts Needs Assessment conducted in 2015 identified a need for support to improve the performance of the registries of the Commercial Courts, primarily at Belgrade Commercial Court, as the busiest commercial court in the country. It is essential that registries are efficient as they provide the support necessary for judges to dispose of cases in a timely manner. In order to improve the delivery of service to court users and the public’s confidence in the court, registries must be efficient and well organized.
First step in providing support to the registry offices was preparation of the Analysis of Commercial Court Registries. The Analysis identified bottlenecks in process, good practice and provide recommendations on a program of support to achieve the necessary efficiencies. While the primary focus was the Belgrade Commercial Court, the Analysis is based on the field visits to Pančevo, Čačak, Kragujevac, Niš and Novi Sad. In addition to meeting with the President and registry staff of the Commercial Courts in those towns, meetings were held with the Bar Association and Chambers of Commerce in most locations.
The Analysis of Commercial Court Registries in English is available here and Serbian version is available here.
