Who will replace the long-time president Boris Savić in the chair of the president of the High Court in Podgorica will be known already on Friday, May 17, when the Judicial Council scheduled a session where they will conduct interviews with the candidates and make a decision on the selection.
Judges of the High Court in Podgorica, Vesna Kovačević, Zoran Radović, Amir Đokaj and Predrag Krstonijević, applied to the Judicial Council's advertisement for the position of President of the High Court in Podgorica.
Savić, who was elected president of the High Court in Podgorica in two five-year rounds, his term expired on May 6 of this year, and until the election of a new head, he will perform the function in an acting capacity in the following days.
Judge Kovačević, who has been a criminal for 17 years and is currently in the Special Department, stated in her work program that, if she were elected as the president of that court, she would relieve the judges of that department from acting in other reports, and she also wrote proposals on how to use them in the future courtrooms, schedule hearings in order to speed up the resolution of accumulated cases...
Another candidate, judge Zoran Radović, in his work program dealt with the lack of courtrooms for the special department, stating that the "construction of the Palace of Justice" would permanently solve that problem.
Judge Amir Đokaj also pointed out the problem with the number of accumulated cases in the Special Division of the High Court, who, if he were to be elected president of the High Court in Podgorica, as he stated, would request that the number of judges in that division be increased from seven to 10.
"In this way, the conditions would be created so that with ten judges in the Special Department, complete promptness would be achieved in two years, because in that way, a larger number of cases would be resolved than the annual hearing," stated Đokaj in the work program.
Judge Predrag Krstoijević stated in his work program that his priority, if he were to be elected president of the High Court in Podgorica, would be the resolution of "red envelopes" cases, stating that with his plan, that "problem would be completely resolved" within a period of five years. .
