Concept, principles of organization, jurisdiction and immunity rights of the public prosecutor in the Republic of Serbia

Abstract

I want to present the Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Serbia in this study. I am first, shedding light on the constitutional regulation, which legal reforms were necessary for Serbia to join the European Community. The most important task was to redefine the role of the prosecutor’s office so that it could perform its priority tasks within the framework of the rule of law and represent the criminal justice needs of the state while performing the function of criminal prosecution. I have focused primarily on the prosecution’s criminal law functions, which are the most critical determinant of its mission. To this end, it is essential to describe the organisational structure of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the legal principles governing the prosecutorial functions to be performed by each prosecution service. Also, the issues concerning the competencies of the prosecution service, the regulatory framework for the organisation of the work of prosecutors and the immunity of prosecutors in the light of legislative changes.
