The High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC) of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced that the courts in our country resolved more than 60,000 of the oldest cases during the first quarter of this year.
Compared to the same period last year, as the HJCP points out, “the number of resolved cases from the plans has increased by 2,488 cases, or four percent.”
For 2022, the plan envisages resolving 169,090 oldest cases, of which 37 percent have been resolved.
“From January 1 to March 31 this year, courts in BiH resolved a total of 62,747 cases, which contributed to the continuous reduction of unresolved old cases, ie increasing the efficiency of courts in BiH, and thus the judiciary as a whole,” the statement said.
The HJPC specifies that the courts in the Federation of BiH resolved 43,781 cases, in the Republika Srpska 17,568, in the Brcko District of BiH 929 cases, while the Court of BiH resolved 469 oldest cases.
Since 2010, 1,480,032 oldest cases have been resolved, which has greatly reduced the total number of unresolved cases in the courts.
“This number is the result of a long-standing practice of implementing plans to resolve the oldest cases in the courts, which the HJPC introduced in 2011 with the aim of reducing the age structure and a large number of old unresolved cases,” the HJPC said.
