Strasbourg vs. Serbia, Croatia, or Bosnia and Herzegovina?

The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has recently issued rulings against Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, addressing fundamental citizens' rights. These judgments highlight ongoing legal challenges within the region.

In Serbia, the court's decisions focused on protecting the rights to freedom of assembly and a fair trial. For Croatia, the emphasis was on safeguarding freedom of expression. Meanwhile, Bosnia and Herzegovina faced rulings concerning the right to free elections.

The program "Crvena linija" will delve into these cases, examining who brings cases before the European Court of Human Rights, when and why they do so, and the success rates of these proceedings. It will also explore how the court's rulings are monitored and implemented.

Legal experts Milena Vasić from JUKOM, Sandra Marković, a lawyer from Zagreb, and Nedim Ademović, a lawyer from Sarajevo, will participate in the discussion. They will analyze the messages Strasbourg is sending to domestic legislation and the governments of the region, as well as to the citizens themselves. The program aims to shed light on why these disputes, often discussed with the colloquialism "we'll see" or "see you in Strasbourg," are significant and whether they have a real basis.
