ECHR passes cases against Serbia on for supervision

The Council of Europe (CoE) Committee of Ministers said it “received from the European Court 76 cases against Serbia for supervision of their execution (compared to 78 in 2022 and 69 in 2021)”.

“On 31 December 2023, Serbia had 77 cases pending execution (compared to 97 in 2022 and 76 in 2021) … The pending caseload includes notably cases concerning excessive length of judicial proceedings; delayed enforcement of domestic decisions; and ineffective investigations into police ill-treatment. Of the new violations found by the Court in 2023, most of them concerned delayed enforcement of domestic decisions,” a report said.

It said that Serbia is among the five countries with the highest total number of new cases in 2023 and added that 6 leading cases were pending for more than 5 years at the end of 2023. According to the report, a total of 96 cases against Serbia were closed in 2023.
