Serbia’s parliament today approved amendments to a set of judicial laws, sparking renewed controversy. The amendments were re-submitted after initial laws passed in January faced scrutiny. Opposition parties strongly criticized the changes, proposing amendments that were ultimately rejected by the ruling majority. The reforms aim to restructure the judiciary, but critics argue they undermine its independence and transparency. The opposition claims the laws consolidate power and lack sufficient safeguards against political influence. The vote passed without incorporating opposition proposals, deepening political divisions surrounding the judicial system’s future. Further debate and potential challenges are anticipated.
