    Second joint meeting of the president of the Supreme Court of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the presidents of the cantonal courts

    15.06.2026.

    Supreme Court of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the presidents of the cantonal courts in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was held in the premises of the Cantonal Court in Livno. The special significance of this event is reflected in the fact that no meeting of this type, since the beginning of the work of the Supreme Court of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina until today, has been held outside the seat of that court. Before the beginning of the meeting, all those present were greeted by the president of the Municipal Court in Livno and the acting chief prosecutor of the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office of Canton 10 Livno.

    After a brief introductory speech and welcoming remarks, the president of the Supreme Court of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina submitted a report on the submission of the minutes of the previous meeting held on 15th April 2026 at the premises of the Supreme Court of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo. The minutes were submitted to the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which highlighted the problem of lengthy processing of reports on the assets and interests of judges, which greatly affects the efficiency of the courts. For this meeting, the presidents of the courts collected and presented data from the courts in their canton about the average time that elapses from the appointment to the judge's taking office. The court presidents agreed to urge the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina to adopt uniform rules in the application of the new Law on Protection of Personal Data. The participants of the meeting also agreed on the revision of the scope of reporting to the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which will be sent as a supplement to the previous report.

    The expert advisor of the Cantonal Court in Široki Brijeg presented the topic "Improving the rights of servants and working conditions in the court - competence of the court president and challenges for the optimal functioning of the courts", proposed by the president of the Cantonal Court in Široki Brijeg. It was pointed out the need to improve the working conditions of civil servants and employees, in such a way that, within the existing legal solutions, employees in the judiciary are separated from other employees in the public administration in order to evaluate them in a fairer way, or to pass a special law that would refer exclusively to jobs in judicial institutions. The presidents of the courts agreed to launch an initiative on the adoption of a law that would separate the employees in the judiciary from the rest of the employees in the public administration in terms of salaries.

    Among other things, the discussion also included current issues and challenges in the work and management of courts, a request from the Judicial Documentation and Training Department of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the improvement of court management and the need for certain types of education, and extrajudicial activities. Also, it was pointed out the need to organize meetings of cantonal courts where the types of cases and topics that only concern cantonal courts would be discussed. In this way, judicial practice would be standardized throughout the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    The meeting participants agreed that holding these meetings represents a positive practice that should be continued.
