Serbia’s appellate courts and Supreme Court join efforts to harmonise case law

Two joint sessions bringing together Serbia’s appellate courts were held in October 2026, with the aim to promote greater consistency in judicial practice.

The first session, held in Nis on 9 October brought together the representatives of the criminal departments of the Appellate Courts and the Supreme Court. The second session, held in Kragujevac on 23 October, gathered representatives of the civil departments of all appellate courts and the Supreme Court.

The meetings provided a platform for judicial dialogue and exchange on legal issues identified in judicial practice. The discussions contributed to clarification of relevant legal standpoints, comprehensive interpretations of certain legal dilemmas in practice and exchange of opinions among peers.  

The meetings were supported by the action “Strengthening legal culture in Serbia and the capacities of the judicial and the prosecutorial councils” as a part of the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye”, which continues to support partners in fostering case law harmonisation.
