The roundtable was attended by Ms. Radojka Marinković, a judge at the Administrative Court, Ms. Branka Dražić, a judge at the Court of Appeal in Belgrade and Ms. Senka Radević Sarić, a judge at the Second Basic Court in Belgrade.

The panelists outlined the actions that can be undertaken in order to make the Case Law more uniform and the judicial system more efficient. It was also pointed out that specialization of judges would improve the quality of trials and court judgments.

The issues that attracted the most discussions were the practical reach of the principle of confidence in cadastral records, the moment of alignment of the land to the intended purpose in terms of regulations, and the importance of the consent expressed by spouse when it comes to Real Property transfers.
