FBiH Government: Effective exercise of right to trial within reasonable time

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, January 28 (FENA) - FBiH Justice Minister Mato Jozić assessed the proposal for a law on the protection of the right to trial within reasonable time, for which the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina voted on January 23 this year and submited to parliamentary procedure as extremely important.

“This is an important legal solution for every citizen of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina who finds himself in a situation where his trial lasts too long and thus prevents him from exercising his rights as quickly and efficiently as possible. By enacting this law, we protect citizens. The mechanism for the protection of this right is guaranteed by the provisions of the Constitution of BiH and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms,” said the Minister of Justice.

These are the provisions of Article II (3) (e) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Article 6 (1) of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. In its previous practice, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has consistently pointed to a systematic violation of the appellants' right to a fair trial within reasonable time.

This legal solution prescribes the way, conditions and procedure of the right to a trial within reasonable time before the competent courts in the Federation of BiH.

The law also stipulates the amount of financial compensation in case of the violation of the right to a trial within reasonable time, which amounts to 100 KM per year of court proceedings, and the highest financial compensation is recognized up to KM 2,000. The compensation, it has been proposed, is paid from the budget from which the court before which the proceedings were conducted.

“I hope that we will once again show maturity and that we must work in the best interest of the state and enable more efficient exercise of the rights of all our citizens, not that they have been waiting for it for years,” emphasized Minister Jozić.
