The media announced this week that nearly a million old enforcement cases will be transferred from the courts to public enforcement agents, and the value of the lawsuit has multiplied due to decades of interest.
“At the beginning of the year the amendments to the Law on Enforcement and Security came into force, according to which all old enforcement cases are transferred to enforcement agents.” Most of them are based on a credible document, that is, public service debts, but also unpaid television subscriptions, private claims, debts with banks that have gone bankrupt in the meantime, “said Milojevic.
He said that in January, there were a million cases greater than three in Serbia.
Milojevic said that a few years ago an initiative was launched with the EU Delegation to resolve these cases and thus relieve the judiciary, but that the law requires that such cases be transferred to the perpetrators.
“The EU has provided people who have helped to review and classify the cases, and so far about 90 percent of those cases have been transferred to the executors,” he said, with about 460,000 cases left to send to the executors.
However, the president of the court does not believe that all these cases reach compulsory collection, because there are still unexamined folders, incomplete cases and creditors who have not decided if they want to be collected by the court or the executor, so the application was suspended. execution.
Milojevic said that those whose debts have not been suspended will have to pay the costs of the process and the legal default interest, in addition to the principal.
“The fees for executors in these cases are small, but the interest is ‘astronomical’ – for an initial debt of 1,000 dinars, a settlement of 20,000 dinars with interest can be reached,” the judge said.
