In January 2016, the MDTF-JSS finalized a needs assessment for commercial courts. The purpose of this assessment is to identify the specific needs of the Commercial Courts in the medium term, and to identify future programing for the MDTF-JSS Work Plan 2016-2018. The document can also be used as a programming tool for the Serbian Government and for other international partners. The assessment was conducted from September to December 2015 based on consultations primarily with representatives of Supreme Court of Cassation (SCC), Appellate Commercial Court (ACC), Commercial Court in Belgrade, Ministry of Justice (MOJ), IFC and international partners. The needs assessment builds on the Serbian Judicial Functional Review 2014, which provided a comprehensive assessment of the functioning of Serbia’s judicial system with options and recommendations to inform Serbia’s justice reform initiatives in view of requirement of the Chapter 23 EU negotiation process.
