The president of the Supreme Court of Cassation, Dragomir Milojevic, confirmed that he would propose that the debts, which the courts should have transferred to the executors, be canceled in cases of minor communal debts, but that it is up to the Serbian Parliament to accept this.
He told Vecernje Novosti that according to the position of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, the right to property has not been violated if the debt does not exceed ten euros, which is a large amount of communal debts in Serbia, some of which have been collected decades later. with huge interest rates.
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 assigned to enforcement officers. Most of them are based on a credible document, that is, debts of utilities, but also unpaid television subscriptions, private claims and debts with banks, which in the meantime went bankrupt, “Milojevic said.
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 review and classify the cases, and so far about 90 percent of those cases have been transferred to the executors,” he said, and according to June data, there are about 460,000 cases to refer. to the executors.
However, the president of the court does not believe that all these cases will be enforced, since there are still unverified folders, incomplete cases and creditors, who have not decided if they want the court or the bailiff to collect their debt, so the execution was suspended.
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 the executors in these cases are small, but the interest rates are ‘astronomical’ – for an initial debt of 1,000 dinars, a settlement of 20,000 dinars with interest can be reached,” the judge said.
