- Domestic violence
Type:RecommendationSession:15th session, February 2013Status:AcceptedContents:Effectively combat domestic violence and establish shelters and support centres with medical, psychological and legal support.ImplementationNational Report Annex:
In December 2015, the Republic Public Prosecutor issued a mandatory instruction setting out the obligation to keep special records in the appellate, higher and basic public prosecutor's offices in relation to, inter alia, the criminal offense of domestic violence, and in which cases urgent action is required. Special records shall contain information on the perpetrator of the criminal offense, the injured party, the criminal offense, the undertaken actions and the rendered public prosecutor`s and court decisions, and for the criminal acts committed from hatred (Article 54a of CC) and the records on the motives for committing the criminal offense.
Public prosecutor's offices shall submit to the Republic Public Prosecutor's Office through the appellate public prosecutor's offices a quarterly report with data contained in special records, no later than the 15th day of the last month of the quarter for which the report is submitted. The appellate public prosecutor's offices shall submit summary quarterly reports to the Republic Public Prosecutor's Office no later than the 18th of the last month of the quarter for which the report is submitted.
In accordance with the mandatory instruction of the Republic Public Prosecutor, by decision of the public prosecutor of the First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade as of 18 Feb. 2016, a Department for combating domestic violence was formed and a coordinator of the Department for cross-sectoral cooperation was appointed.
Deputy public prosecutors have regular monthly contacts and meetings with representatives of the CSW and the police with a view to working as efficiently as possible in order to prevent domestic violence, and contacts have also been established with the Victimological Society of Serbia, the Autonomous Women's Centre and other CSOs for better cooperation and joint action.
In the reporting period, the Association of Public Prosecutors and Deputy Public Prosecutors of the Republic of Serbia has a significant contribution in the implementation of training of public prosecutors and deputy prosecutors in the area of protection of victims of domestic violence. Numerous trainings were organized, numerous projects were implemented and publications were printed that helped to eliminate dilemmas in practice and improve the protection of victims of domestic violence. "Treatment of Domestic Violence Cases", at the end of the project, a publication titled "Treatment of Domestic Violence Cases" was issued, which contains recommendations regarding both normative improvement and practices of judicial authorities and police, cooperation of all actors including police and centres for social work (September 2014-March 2015); "Judiciary Initiative for Better Protection of Domestic Violence Victims" (June 2013-April 2014); "Partnership for the Protection of Human Rights - More Efficient Cooperation of Judiciary and Civil Society" (April 2013-April 2014).
Within the Program for Professional Development of Police Officers in the framework of compulsory education in 2016, a seminar was held on the topic "Police action in accordance with the special protocol on police action in cases of domestic and intimate partnership violence against women" attended by 1605 police officers.
By improving the normative and institutional framework in this area, preconditions for efficient implementation of the recommendation have been created and in the forthcoming period we will continue on its full implementation.
The program for professional development of police officers for 2017 continues the implementation of the instructional unit which content consists of the following topics: manifestation forms of domestic violence; family members under the Criminal Code; general principles for protection of women victims of domestic and intimate partnership violence; reporting domestic and intimate partnership violence
against women by telephone; sending and arrival of police officers to the place of domestic and intimate partnership violence against women; the most common risks; documenting events; statements of support for victims of domestic and intimate partnership violence against women; cooperation with other institutions and institutions dealing with domestic and intimate partnership violence against women.
For the purpose of standardization and uniform implementation of this thematic area, the Department for Vocational Training - the Training Implementation Unit developed a manual and presentation that are fully compatible with the instruction content of the topic.
The Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence provides for two urgent measures: the urgent measure of removing the perpetrator of the violence from the apartment and the urgent measure of forbidding the perpetrator to contact and approach the victim. Urgent measures are imposed by a police officer for prevention of domestic violence and can last for 48 hours, and can be imposed cumulatively. The public prosecutor, in case of establishing the existence of a direct threat of domestic violence, is obliged to submit a motion to extend the emergency measure. The court evaluates the risk assessment of the competent police officer, the risk assessment made by the basic public prosecutor and assesses the evidence and claims submitted by the public prosecutor. Urgent measures can be extended by court decision for another 30 days. On the proposal of the basic public prosecutor, the basic court shall decide within 24 hours of receiving the submission and without holding a hearing. The law contains penal provisions that prescribe violations and greater effectiveness of urgent measures and measures of protection against domestic violence is achieved.
At the level of the Government, the Council for Suppression of Domestic Violence has been established, which is tasked with monitoring the implementation of the Law and improving the coordination of competent state bodies, institutions and other entities, and the effectiveness of preventing domestic violence and protection against domestic violence.
The Provincial Secretariat for Health Care, in partnership with the Women's Support Centre from Kikinda, has been implementing a three-year project, "Stop - Protect - Help", since January 2016. The project is intended for women in the situation of violence and potential victims, professionals in all sectors at all levels of authority, women's organizations and the entire population on the territory of the province.
Starting from the obligations of the state provided for by the Istanbul Convention as well as the measures provided for in the Action Plan for the Implementation of the Strategy for the Prevention and Protection against Discrimination, CBGE initiated the adoption of the National Strategy for the Prevention and Suppression of Domestic and Intimate Partnership Violence against Women and Girls for the period 2017-2020. For the analysis of the previous strategy and development of a new one, as well as for the implementation of numerous awareness-raising activities, the necessary funding was provided by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) within the project "Integrated Response to Violence against Women and Girls II". The project began in July 2016 and will last until July 2018, with a total value of $ 940,000. The project has been implemented in cooperation with all UN agencies in Serbia and relevant line ministries. Its implementation will contribute to the further development of the social and institutional environment in Serbia with zero tolerance for violence.
In order to encourage women to report cases of domestic and sexual violence by raising awareness about the criminal nature of such actions, the Ministry of Justice organized a national media campaign of raising awareness called "Off Violence".
There are safe houses managed by centres for social work in Kragujevac, Leskovac, Priboj, Smederevo, Vranje, Jagodina, Šabac, Niš and Majdanpek. In AP Vojvodina, there are 5 safe houses, managed by centres for social work, with total capacity for 122 persons: Novi Sad; Zrenjanin, Sombor, Pančevo and Sremska Mitrovica. In the past period, the Provincial Government, in cooperation with the B92 Fund, supported the construction and equipping of safe houses in Zrenjanin, Pančevo, Sombor and Sremska Mitrovica with a total of 22,500,000RSD.
Since 2011 the City of Belgrade, recognizing the importance of a shelter service for women victims of domestic violence, has provided financial support to the civil society organization Counselling against Domestic Violence in Belgrade, which has three safe houses for women victims of domestic violence. By introducing the service of providing shelter for women victims of domestic violence into the normative framework of the city of Belgrade, which defines the conditions for exercising rights and services in the field of social protection, the basis for the implementation of the public procurement procedure of the service has been established in accordance with the Law on Social Protection and the Decision on Rights and Social Protection Services. The service was formally established by the public procurement in early 2016, when a contract for providing the service was concluded with the licensed organization Counselling Centre against Domestic Violence in Belgrade. The accommodation capacity of the Counselling Centre is 30 women and children, 24 hours a day. The costs of this service are fully covered by funds from the budget of the City of Belgrade provided for each current year, the service is free for women victims of violence.
Activities aimed at implementing the recommendation are being continuously implemented.

Type:RecommendationSession:3rd session, December 2008Status:AcceptedContents:Take all appropriate measures, in the fields of legislation, implementation and awareness-raising, to tackle domestic violence against women and children.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 52) On 4 April 2012, RS signed the CE Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence. Also, the Government adopted strategic documents relevant for protection against domestic violence.
Para 53) The Law on Gender Equality stipulates that all family members shall have an equal right to protection against domestic violence. Discrimination shall not be considered special measures and programs aimed at 1) victims of domestic violence that are used for providing social, legal and other assistance and benefits for purpose of protection against domestic violence and elimination and mitigation of effects of violence; 2) care for victims of violence for purpose of prevention of violence and exercise of the right to life without violence; 3) perpetrators of domestic violence for purpose of prevention of further violence.
Para 55) The Criminal Code incriminates threats, assaults on personal integrity, endangering lives of family members, causing injuries, and a murder. The Criminal Procedure Code envisages the following for domestic violence: a trial within a reasonable time, hearing of vulnerable categories of witnesses, psychological expertise, prohibition of approach to victims, responsibility of law enforcement officers.
Para 57) Since 2010, a Special Protocol of the Ministry of Health for Protection and Treatment of Women Exposed to Violence has been in force. In November 2011, the General Protocol on Conduct and Cooperation of Institutions, Bodies and Organisations in Cases of Violence against Women in the Family and in Intimate Partner Relationship was adopted, which established cooperation among the ministries competent for operation and social policy, justice, internal affairs and health. The Protocol, being a national document, for the first time explicitly defines that a child who witnesses domestic violence is considered to be a victim of violence.
Para 58) The Provincial Secretariat for Economy, Employment and Gender Equality is implementing the Strategy for Protection against Domestic Violence and Other Forms of Gender-Based Violence in AP Vojvodina.

UN Compilation:
Para 4) AWC stated that Serbia had established legislative framework related to the prohibition of discrimination, gender equality and protection from gender-based violence. However, insufficient attention was paid to the implementation of this legal framework in practice. The Gender Equality Law, after two years of implementation, had no effect on the actual equality of men and women. There were no publicly available reports on the effects of the implementation of the law.
Para 18) AWC noted that Serbia adopted a host of policies in the field of violence against women, including the 2011 National Strategy for Prevention and Elimination of Violence against Women in the Family and in Intimate Partner Relationship, whose action plan for implementation was still lacking, and the 2011 General Protocol on procedures and cooperation of institutions, agencies and organizations in situations of domestic and partner relationship violence. Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia (HCHRS) recommended harmonization of legal solutions in order to guarantee rights of victims of domestic violence in accordance with international standards. HCHRS further recommended amendment to the Criminal Procedure Law that would expand the term "family member" in the criminal offence of domestic violence to include former spouse, partner or former partner, persons who were or still are in an emotional or sexual relationship, who have a joint or conceived child.
Para 35) ... it urged Serbia to implement the national strategy to prevent domestic violence, and conduct awareness- raising campaigns and training on domestic violence for officials. Stakeholder Summary: Para 3) Autonomous Women's Center (AWC) noted that Serbia signed the Council of Europe (CoE) Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence in April 2012, which had yet to be ratified. -

- Domestic violence
Type:Review DocumentationSession:3rd session, December 2008Status:Reference AddressedContents:Although domestic violence is a criminal offence under Serbian law, as noted by BCHR, research indicates that victims are not adequately protected and that much domestic violence remains unreported mostly because of fear and mistrust in the legal system. The law does not sufficiently guarantee the urgency of the proceedings and most victims tend to abandon the proceedings they had initiated. Prosecutors rarely take legal action against persons suspected of domestic violence. Jurisprudence indicates that courts hardly ever order the protection measures envisaged by the Family Act and that the sentences pronounced for violations of the Criminal Code are extremely lenient.
