Among the infamous records in the judiciary regarding delayed trials, the case against the suspended judge Danilo Jegdić, which has entered its eighth year, stands out.

Jegdić was convicted by the Nikšić Basic Court for falsifying the minutes of the hearing after six and a half years of trial, but as the case has only now reached the High Court - to decide on appeals, there is a danger that all or part of the accusation is time-barred.

The court has been claiming for years that they acted promptly, although it is unclear how they allowed the obstructions, which they claim were not few.

The text was written within the project of the NGO MANS "For a more transparent and responsible judiciary".
