Until recently, the acting President of the Supreme Court, Vesna Vučković, submitted her resignation from the position of judge this morning.
Vučković's decision to leave the court system came after recent colleagues in the Supreme Court gave their support, and then the Judicial Council elected Valentina Pavličić as president of the Supreme Court.
As a judge of the Supreme Court, at the session of the Judicial Council on September 6, 2021, at a very difficult moment for the judiciary and the Supreme Court, Vučković was elected to lead that branch of government in an acting mandate.
On two occasions, Vučković responded to the ads of the Judicial Council to be the president of the Supreme Court for a full term. In the summer of 2023, there was also a proposal of the General Session of the Supreme Court, but it did not receive the necessary support from the Judicial Council.
At the last announcement, she and Judge Ana Vuković each received six votes from their colleagues from the Supreme Court at the General Session, the President of the Administrative Court Miodrag Pešić had seven, but with 10 votes, which was the required quota, Pavlilčić was nominated.
As of the end of 2020, the court system has not had a full-time head after Vesna Medenica left office.
