Established institutional architecture based on a strong legal framework enforced by specialized and uncompromised institutions and people
This approach was launched in 2003 only few months before a strong organized crime group committed the assassination on the first democratically elected Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia in the modern Serbian history – Mr. Zoran Djindjic.
Only under the leadership of President Tadic, during the tenure of Prime Minister Cvetkovic and Justice Minister Malovic, came the necessary courage and commitment to tackle this complex challenge
In order for the process to start, several crucial milestones had to be covered, primary of which being the complicated and delicate process of judiciary reform
