In cases related to domestic violence, it is necessary to take all measures and actions within the jurisdiction of the prosecution office in a timely manner, and the heads of the prosecution offices are expected to act with special care in these cases and that in all cases where there is no basis for criminal prosecution, decisions should be made clearly reason and explain.

This was said by acting Supreme State Prosecutor Maja Jovanović during a meeting with the heads of all 16 state prosecutor's offices.

The meeting, as announced by the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, was organized with the aim of familiarizing the acting VDT in more detail with the challenges that the heads of the prosecutor's offices face and defining the modalities for successfully overcoming them.

The meeting, as they state, was also an opportunity for Jovanović to introduce the heads of the prosecutor's offices to the plan for the functioning of the state prosecutor's organization in the coming period.

The meeting with Jovanović was attended by the heads of the Special State Prosecutor's Office, higher state prosecutor's offices in Podgorica and Bijelo Polje, and all 13 basic state prosecutor's offices.
