Serbia has made substantial progress in judicial reform and in improving its justice system, Council of Europe (CoE) Director General of Human Rights and Rule of Law Philippe Boillat said during a meeting he had with Serbian Minister of Justice Nikola Selakovic in Belgrade on Tuesday.

A country can have a modern constitution, good laws, but without an independent, impartial and efficient judiciary, there can be no quality judicial system, and hence no respect for human rights, Boillat said, cited in a Ministry of Justice release.

He stressed that the CoE would provide Serbia with every kind of expert support wherever it found it necessary.

Selakovic and Boillat agreed that consistent respect for human rights requireed legal predictability.
