  • ROADS of SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When You Want to Develop an Area, Equip It with Good Roads”, Prof
    INTRODUCTION ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PE “ROADS OF SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When you want to develop an area, equip it with good roads”, prof. dr Milan Vujanić says and I entirely agree with this. Interdependence of industry and roads is quite evident because roads, in addition to their main function concerning the transport of people and goods, also generate growth and development of all places through which the road network passes as well as all other which are indirectly connected with motorways and other important routes in the Republic of Serbia. Thus it is the main dedication of the PE “Roads of Serbia” to achieve what is expected from us – to successfully finish all investments and provide the same level of quality of all the roads in Serbia with constant increase of the level of traffic safety, with cordial assistance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. This is an imperative of our work, not only because of the expectations in front of us regarding the accession to the European Union, but also because good roads are one of the pillars of every serious and modern country. Road towards the achievement of big results starts with the devotion of individuals, each one of us. Owing to an exceptional devotion of the employees in the PE “Roads of Serbia”, achievement of the adopted plans is possible, regardless of the difficulties and not always favourable work conditions which the time sets upon us. Daily perseverance, devotion and openness of our employees to new knowledge and changes is obvious.

Contents 1. Executive Summary 2. Regional challenges 3. Albania 4. Bosnia and Herzegovina 5. Kosovo 6. Macedonia 7. Montenegro 8. Serbia 9. References The K4D helpdesk service provides brief summaries of current research, evidence, and lessons learned. Helpdesk reports are not rigorous or systematic reviews; they are intended to provide an introduction to the most important evidence related to a research question. They draw on a rapid desk- based review of published literature and consultation with subject specialists. Helpdesk reports are commissioned by the UK Department for International Development and other Government departments, but the views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of DFID, the UK Government, K4D or any other contributing organisation. For further information, please contact [email protected]. 1. Executive Summary The rule of law, in its most basic form, is based on the principles that society is governed openly and fairly according to widely known and accepted rules; that no one is above the law, including those in authority; and that justice is accessible to all (Bara and Bara, 2017, 24-25; Mavrikos- Adamou, 2014; Memeti, 2014). A country operates under “rule of law” when it has, among other institutions and services, a legislature that enacts laws in accordance with the constitution and human rights; an independent judiciary; effective and accessible legal services; and a legal system guaranteeing equality before the law (Gome, 2017).

    Desk Review of Analytic Work on Justice Reform in Serbia Public Disclosure Authorized Background and Scope The Desk Review of Analytic Work on Justice Reform in Serbia is conducted as a part of the Serbia Judicial Functional Review (JFR) under the umbrella of the Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Justice Sector Support administered by the World Bank. The Desk Review Report is a deliverable of the JFR under Component 2: Performance and Justice Service Delivery: Baseline and Challenges in the Serbian Judicial System. As the integral part of the JFR the Desk Review Report (DRR) shares the same objective, focus and scope as the JFR as identified and outlined in the JFR Concept Note. Therefore, the conducted review of analytic work on justice in Serbia does not provide entire review of all analytical works related to justice Public Disclosure Authorized Serbian judiciary. The DRR rather focuses on the information such work provides on the activity of the Serbian institutions and how the performance of such institutions supports the delivery of justice services by the courts and impacts the reform efforts. Where a question arises as to whether a certain analytical work would be examined under the desk review, the test to be applied will be ‘whether issues analyzed in a specific analytical work relate to the delivery of justice services by the courts in Serbia’. The DRR focuses on information the specific work provides regarding the three areas of performance in terms of justice service delivery: efficiency of service delivery; quality of services delivered, and; access to these services. Special focus is given to any recommendations on future reform activities indicated in the reviewed analytical works.
