Abstract

The author analyzes experience in the vetting of the judiciary as a tool used to regain trust in the justice system. Special focus is put on Serbia and Albania experience. The comparative experience and practice do not show a clear link between vetting process and public trust in the judiciary. The author analyzed the importance of a common understanding of reasons for vetting process as well as preparatory activities for its implementation – Constitutional ground, selection of proper institution, including the establishment of ad hoc bodies, proper timeframe and administrative capacities to implement the whole process. In addition, communication with the public and professional community is of utmost importance to ensure support throughout vetting. The author provides an overview of the comparative practices related to the models of vetting conducted in Serbia in 2009 and ongoing vetting process in Albania. Although there are delays in implementation in Albania, it is obvious that Albania legislators learned from Serbian experience and included tools to ensure transparency of the vetting.
