PRESENTATION FIRST DRAFT OF THE REVISED ACTION PLAN FOR CHAPTER 23 Belgrade, Hotel “Metropol” 6 February 2019

2 First benchmark Serbia ensures an effective, close and permanent monitoring of the implementation of its Action Plan in the field of Judiciary and Fundamental Rights, through a robust and multidisciplinary mechanism, paying particular attention to the adequacy of human and financial resources, institutional capacity, training requirements, the respect of set deadlines, a real dialogue with civil society and adequate consideration of their proposals and which can trigger corrective measures as required

3 The necessity of revising the Action Plan for Chapter 23
The revision of the Action Plan was necessary in order to: 1. Make an overview of the activities that clearly point to the future direction 2. Make interventions that properly reflect recommendations of the Screening report for Chapter 23 3. Remedy difficulties encountered in realization and monitoring of the implementation of the activities

4 Key interventions: IBM was added to each recommendation of the Screening report The activities that were fully implemented were deleted Some activities have been reformulated / (re)defined The timelines were changed and realistically set in relation to the realization of each activity individually A particular institution stated as being responsible for the implementation of each individual activity Financial resources have not been yet defined - a longer period for their harmonization and evaluation is required so that they do not represent a limitation, but support for the implementation
